Have you used moonlight? Its a linux open source plugin. Basically its an implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight, but this time for unix systems.

i just wanted to know if you've used it. heard some great reviews about it from chris pirillo.

btw, here's the site: http://go-mono.com/moonlight/

and here's the silverlight site (beware its a Microsoft site :P ): http://silverlight.net/

okay the reason why i want to use it is because of this facebook app(and its free). apparently its one of the best in the market. says chris pirillo.

I use Moonlight,

since I don't have any cable t.v (I've banned it from my house) and I still want to be able to watch some programs, I stream them using moonlight.

Works fine for me;
