Your right. I just tried it out because I like to watch Hulu, but Flash
runs like shit on my Mini-9. I figured that since I have zero problems
watching video using mplayer and whatnot then that it would work fine.

But, no. It runs WORSE then the web-client. How they could of achieved that
is amazing.

And it, does indeed, look for the adobe flash plugin at startup.
