Hmm, it shouldn't be a problem to watch the video on Linux. You can
easily watch wmv files using mplayer of xine, as long as they don't use
DRM. However, I thought the tread was about if the the light show is run
by linux. So I pointed out that there's a software they offer for
download that seems to run on Windows. But maybe I was the one to get
wrong what the thread was about...
