Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am a Linux Mint 14 using Netflix quite successfully until MS decided to update Silverlight. Now the screen locks on a download page, with no way around it.
It's pointless attempting the download as it's an .exe and will screw up my machine.
Does anyone have a suggestion, please?
The netflix-desktop application works really well for me- and takes almost no effort beyond a few lines of code (Confirmed working as recently as this morning for me).

Still nothing at my end. It's a Firefox download which halts at a download page.
Any other suggestion, please?
Can you give us the error messages you are getting?
Just to verify you have Wine installed right? That link I posted above is actually the Windows version of Firefox, since NF refuses to support Linux.
Turns out it's linked to Firefox.
Eric Hoover gave the answer.
In the terminal rm -Rf ~/.wine-browser will delete this file, restart Netflix and it automatically loads the correction.
