Okay, just so that I am clear,  if you were running 32-bit Linux would 
you be able to have Flash support?

I am not technical enough to answer that.  Primarily his presentation is 
   of his work in several an automated slide shows with fading segues. 
Each has the option of clicking through manually.  The slide show seems 
nice to me because some of his work is photography, and with the rest, 
quoting the effects of photo and mass media is a strain that runs 
through his style.  Also, taking some power out of the hands of the 
viewer and forcing them to view the work on the work's terms is 
appropriate and interesting in its effect.

One answer is with a question:  how considerable is "considerable?" 
That was part of my reason for telling the Carl Andre story.  For Andre 
the presentation of the sculpture was indistinguishable from the 
sculpture. Might seem minor to many, to him it was everything. With Rene 
I would doubt the link is so close, but the effect of the slide show 
builds on certain traits of his style.  Really I would think that the 
variety of possibilities for interpreting his art would supersede any 
one presentation method in the case of this artist.

"Web site" seems like a serviceable enough term to me.
