Novel Moonlight is an open source implementation of the powerful Microsoft Silverlight for Unix systems.

The goals are:

· To run Silverlight applications on Linux.
· To provide a Linux SDK to build Silverlight applications.
· To reuse the Silverlight engine we have built for desktop applications.

Note: These are currently built without multimedia support. No video or mp3 playback is enabled on these binaries.
