Adobe Released 64-bit Flash For Linux

Posted by samzenpus on from the included-free-of-charge dept.

kai_hiwatari writes "Adobe has been taking quite a bashing from Linux supporters of late. First, there was the issue of them dropping AIR for Linux and then came the bashing because of the lack of updates on the experimental 64-bit Flash for Linux. Well, guess what! They have just released Flash 11 and it includes native 64-bit support for Linux as well. When they discontinued their experimental 64-bit Flash earlier this year, Adobe promised to release a 64-bit version of Flash for Linux when they release the next major version. They have kept that promise."

    When the linux community asked for software I don't think they knew what they were in for. Cheers mates, you can crash your browser like the rest of us.

    see a huge chunk of memory go up in smoke just for a single plugin.

    So it's just like Flash on every other platform then?
