I have all my home machines all running Linux except for one that is still on xp becuase of no flash player.
Actually there is a flash palyer for Linux currently available, just not the most up to date version. Flash Player 7 for Linux should play most Flash contents perfectly well.
I downloaded 9.0 and I can not get it to work. It looks like there are some files missing??? I have 7 installed and have three files in my Pluggin dir, libnullplugin.so, flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so. With 9.0 I have one file libflashplayer.so and it cause firefox to be slow and act stupid. I tried to replace the 7. file with the 9.0 and it didn't work. Then I tried only having the 9.0 libflashplayer.so by itself and still the same goofiness with Firefox.
So whats the deal?

If by "perfectly well" you mean "poorly, with audio-video sync issues and always claiming top dog in Z-order" then you're correct.
I downloaded 9.0 . It looks like they improved many things. All the problems I've has have been down to poorly written sites, not the fault of the player.
I hope somebody looks at blender and improve on it. There is a plugin for web browser and a demo of a dynamically-responsive graphics. The plugin uses the game engine.
FOSS Developers can create an authoring suite ala Macromedia but based on blender libraries.
At least it will give Adobe competition to add the pressure of treating FOSS audience a fair deal.
