Adobe Releases New 64-Bit Flash Plugin For Linux

Posted by samzenpus on from the flash-in-the-pan dept.

TheDarkener writes "Adobe seems to have made an about face regarding their support for native 64-bit Linux support for Flash today, and released a new preview Flash plugin named 'Square.' This includes a native 64-bit version for Linux, which I have verified works on my Debian Lenny LTSP server by simply copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins — with sound (which I was never able to figure out with running the 32-bit version with nspluginwrapper and pulseaudio)."

    Do you really think that after all Linux has gone through to get more users, it'll be the number of bits on Flash to persuade them away from other OSs? Really? :)
