<p><app>Silverlight</app> is a <em>plug-in</em> for your web browser which allows you to watch videos and use interactive web pages on some websites. Some websites won't work without Silverlight.</p>
<p>If you view a Silverlight-enabled website but don't have the plug-in installed, you will probably see a message telling you so. This message should have instructions telling you how to get the plug-in, but these instructions might not be suitable for your web browser or version of Linux.</p>
<p>If you want to view Silverlight-enabled websites, you should install the <em>Moonlight</em> plug-in instead. This is a free, open-source version of Silverlight which runs on Linux.</p>
<p>Some Linux distributions have a copy of Moonlight that you can install using their software installer; just open the installer and search for <input>Silverlight</input> or <input>Moonlight</input>.</p>
<p>If your distribution doesn't have a Moonlight software package, see the <link href="http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight">Moonlight website</link> for more information and installation instructions.</p>
