    <desc>Some websites use Silverlight to display web pages. The Moonlight
    plug-in lets you view these pages.</desc>

  <title>Install the Silverlight plug-in</title>

  <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.go-mono.com/moonlight/">Moonlight website</link> for
  more information and installation instructions.</p>
