Moonlight supports Silverlight version 1 (not version 2) and support is somewhat spotty.

I have gone to Synaptic Package Manager and installed everything to do with Moonlight but still no Netflix. From the sound of it it seems that people are using silverlight to do other things but I don't know what that is yet. I will check a few of these above links out presently. My conclusion though is that there is no Netflix yet with Linux. But other $ilverlight sites do work. I am a Ubuntu JJ user and am hoping that I can soon be able to watch Netflix with Firefox.

(Actually, it is called Iceweasel on Debian for legal reasons but this is a technicality and irrelevant to this discussion.) The Ryanair destinations webpage, as you pointed out, used to work fine using Flash. Why they changed it, I do not know. What I do know is that when I went to the destinations webpage recently and clicked on "Download Silverlight" (or something like that), I was automatically redirected to the Moonlight/Mono page, which I proceeded to install as a plugin for Firefox. The destinations webpage is still dysfunctional (i.e. the map loads, can zoom in and out and can pan, but the airports don't appear and no routes are present so it is useless unless you like to stare at a blank map of Europe). So what did I do? I decided to write an email to the Ryanair website people. What's their address, you ask, as it is not available/displayed on the website? I took a chance a sent an email to webmaster@ryanair.com. It didn't bounce (yet). Perhaps you could also send it to them there. If enough people complain, maybe they'll at least offer the choice of the old Flash-based approach. Or maybe they'll change their email address. Worth a try, though. Best of luck! Mike Greifeneder:
