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 probably won't, but now you have some choice at least. Isn't that what Linux is all about?

    Don't. But don't think the entire world isn't interested in what you're not interested in. There's plenty of great flash content out there.

    I use flashblock because I cannot concentrate with crap dancing around on the screen.
    I hate that its required as an extension (but shown my support for the principle by bugfixing it...)

    ClickToView functionality should be a proper configurable option within the core system for all plugin types.
