A misunderstanding on my part. I was doing some research on the side and 
found some references that it was working. Turns out it was just a 
virtual machine running Windows on a Linux host. There is no native 
Linux Silverlight, unless you count Moonlight, which, I gather, has some 
issues. My mistake.
