Jordon, I just love this bit:



"What is Moonlight?
Moonlight was built by Novell in collaboration with Microsoft which
provided Novell with test suites, specifications, open source code and
Media Codecs to create an entirely open sourced Silverlight-compatible
implementation for Unix systems. 

Access to licensed Media Codecs (MP3, WMV, VC-1) is provided by
Microsoft to Moonlight 1.0 and 2.0 users. The first time that you access
a web site that requires these codecs, Moonlight will prompt you to
download the codecs from Microsoft and install those on your system."

I wonder if that is a good thing or not? This is in the repos already,
so I installed it via synaptic. I tried several demo sites, but no
luck.  :) Ric
