RE: "I'm sure she will continue to find applications out there that require Shockwave, Silverlight, Windows, and who knows what else. I try to find replacements when I say no, but those are never as satisfying (to her) as saying yes." From this description, and other pieces in the thread, this sounds less like a technical issue and more like a personality issue. In other words, this "problem" isn't technical in origin, and will continue to crop up regardless of whether you install silverlight or not. Good luck with this.

I assume I'd have to use Mono's version instead, but before I even start down that path... should I? How does it perform on an LTSP system? I'm running the EL6 version on an x86_64 server. Flash sometimes weighs down the network, as I have only 100Mbit links between the clients and the switch (but the server uses a gigE link).
