For Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris: See Novell's Moonlight.
Compatible Operating Systems and Platforms
Moonlight should work on any modern 32bit and 64bit Linux distributions under Firefox 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5.
We make sure that the plug-in available from this site works on the following platforms: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11, openSUSE 11.x, Ubuntu 9.10, and Fedora 12.
Older distributions will run Moonlight, but may require that you build Moonlight from source code.

A:
Silverlight supports the IE and the NSAPI plugin models. This means that, though it's officially supported on IE and FireFox (with Chrome in experimental, to be supported in v4) on Windows, and Safari on Mac, it technically works on other browsers that support the Netscape Plugin model, like Opera.
Moonlight supports the NSAPI on most other platform, such as Linux, which gives it pretty broad support there.

For developers IE only. You can't debug SL with non-IE browser. For clients - almost all major browsers.
p.s. I use chrome with SL since SL2.0
