[gentoo-user] Gentoo + Moonlight
Hello mates, I want to use moonlight, because I've reciently started using Netflix. I did not found in portage tree... Also, I remember that it was marked to be removed from portage... So, I wonder, is there any way to install it? layman? ebuild? Someone has moonlight installed and working? any problems? Regards -- Carlos Sura.-

Right now, I'm using virtualbox, Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8; with a hdmi output, but I don't like to use virtualbox just to watch movies on netflix. Also, this article: http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_watch_Netflix_(Watch_Instantly)_in_Linux mentions that, I could use moonlight to get netflix working on linux. But, now that I would like to try moonlight; isn't in portage tree nor gentoo wiki. I would like to know is there is a layman or ebuild (working). I'm in ~AMD64 Regards -- Carlos Sura.-

It lists Mono/Moonlight under the Other methods that DON'T work section. Meaning you can't use it to watch Netflix. :) There are rumors that Netflix is working on a proper Linux client, but as of right now emulation/virtualization is the only way to do it AFAIK.

Oh, I see... My mistake, did not read all the article neither well... So... I might be using virtualbox if I want to watch movies on Netflix What a shame... Anyway, thank you for your answer.
