    Will this version support Flash? It sure would be nice to view Youtube movies or play online games.

    Of course, that's Adobe's fault, or ATI's fault.

    Thanks, Ubuntu!

    Run MSO, PlanetSide, WoW, Crysis, GTA X, Global Agenda, Steam and the games i download for it? Will it use the peripherals available at Best Buy, or that the people around me have? Will it work with contemporary video and sound cards? Will i be able to share files/programs with more people or fewer people?
