I have also been to Sling Media office in Foster City recently. Not a surpise but Linux and iPhone clients are coming. I also saw first hand the Clip and Sling product announced at CES - Tres Cool!

Hmmm, that is strange, I contacted their support people not a week ago and they indicated that there were no plans to support Linux.
