[LinuxUsers] Bravo Hulu

[Manny]

I downloaded the hulu app yesterday.  It's the 64bit version.  I had
no issues with video performance.  Liked how the buffer stayed full,
even with high quality video. I am on FIOS though.

I really like the interface,  just wish you could resize the image
when not in full screen mode.

BTW thanks for the tip Chris.  I had to do the same (edit
.huludesktop) to get it working.
