64-Bit Flash Player For Linux Finally In Alpha

Posted by Soulskill on from the new-and-shiny dept.

Luchio writes "Finally, a little bit of respect from Adobe with this alpha release of the Adobe Flash Player 10 that was made available for all Linux 64-bit enthusiasts! As noted, 'this is a prerelease version,' so handle with care. Just remove any existing Flash player and extract the new .so file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (or /usr/lib/opera/plugins)."

    It's called astroturfing. Fuck Adobe and their sucky flash player.

    Hopefully Silverlight will replace Flash, which is pretty lame anyway. Adobe finally decides to hop on the bandwagon 5 years too late - big deal!
