x86 Linux Flash Player 9 is Final

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-still-hate-flash dept.

Schlaegel writes "The official Adobe Linux Flash blog has announced that Flash player for x86 Linux is now final and no longer beta. Every x86 Linux user, at least those willing to load binary software, can rejoice and no longer feel like a second rate citizen. Distribution packages are also available, for example the Macromedia Fedora repository already has the flash player marked for update."

    It wouldn't impact you anyways because the flash player can't be integrated with lynx.
