your only options is
http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight

clearly if Linux had more marketshare in the consumer market, MS would port an silverlight engine for it, as they did for the mac. But until that happens, or if it happens, you're stuck with moonlight. I do not use it so I can't vouch that the seadragon technology of the official silverlight has been ported.

As a side note, I've generated quite a number of seadragon images.
Seadragon, or deep zoom as has been rebranded, also supports a javascript based output projects. However, as it is often the case with javascript, it is nowhere near as smooth and rich as silverlight for this sort of thing.

Ultimately the choice of output is left to the content creator and I can't blame them for chosing what looks and works better for the majority of users, in this case that happens to be using the silverlight based engine.

But I would like to see a 1st party implementation of silverlight for linux but only so that it may someday be easily ported to android OS.]]>Jul 30th 2010 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 31st 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/Jul 30th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/70-gigapixel-panorama-of-budapest-becomes-worlds-largest-digita/
