Hulu Desktop for Linux
Hulu has released a version of it's desktop client for Linux. It's compiled for both Ubuntu and Fedora and is available in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. It too bad that it's closed source, but it requires Adobe Flash anyway so there's no way it would end up in Fedora anyway. I'll keep hoping for an open source way to watch Hulu's content but for now the new desktop client means that it'll be easier for me to get the mindless entertainment that I need every now and then.

Does it work on F-11? On F-12, it stops responding when displaying the EULA (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions).
If so, does it have smarter caching logic than Hulu's web widget, or is it equally dismal?
Yes, it works on my F-11 laptop, and no the caching isn't improved. Basically it looks like the client is a wrapper around a Flash widget.
