Yes, I'm currently an Ubuntu 10.04 user; overall, I am happy, but.....
I need a can of Raid for my PC due to the Ubuntu bugs.
I have everything configured to my own taste, and all works, mostly.
I like the KDE spin of Fedora 13. Will I encounter issues with
Flash or Java on a 64-bit box? This is with 3 gigs of RAM.
Flash is most important due to some apps I run on a regular
basis; all requiring Flash.
Distribution: Fedora, Gentoo, Debian, Slackware, IRIX, OS X

I'm running Fedora 13 64-bit with both 64-bit Flash and Sun Java installed. I switched from the shipped java to Sun Java 6 update 20 due to a Symantec program, but otherwise everything works quite well in my opinion.
I run both and prefer Ubuntu. I have no problems with 64-bit flash on either. I don't know what Ubuntu bugs you're referring to. I have encountered none but, I run Gnome so they may be KDE bugs. I am currently at 4 gigs of RAM but have run both distros at 1 gig without a problem.
I upgraded to 10.04 using the software manager, I boot to
command line about every 3rd boot, and Firefox freezes a lot.
Also 10.04 seems to crawl when loading the Desktop.
I never had an issue when I ran the last 2 versions of
Ubuntu, but they were installed directly off discs.
Doing a Google search yesterday, I came across a few threads
that indicated Flash may be a problem, but I'm not sure if
this is still an issue. I thought I'd come here for any
other thoughts. Again, I'm happy with the OS; maybe, I'll
reinstall off disc. I run Kubuntu 10.04 on my laptop with no
issues at all, it is 32-bit.
When I first upgraded Ubuntu to 10.04, I had the same command line boot problem as salmanal. I ended up completely reinstalling Ubuntu and the problem went away. I've always downloaded flash and manually installed it myself and have experienced no problems on any of my distros.
