Sorry, perhaps my shorthand there wasn't clear... When OpenLaszlo compiles to DHTML it isn't Flash. When OpenLaszlo compiles to J2ME it isn't Flash. When OpenLaszlo compiles to SWF, you could say it is Flash. I would call it a way to create Flash (or to be more explicit, applications that run in the Flash player).
When installing the Linux Flash Player it does require extra steps to get the fonts installed right (Macr/Adobe does provide those instructions). Maybe you ran into that...
This has always worked for me: <canvas>
<text>hello world!</text> </canvas> If you run it with hello.lzx?lzr=dhtml in the nightly builds of "Legals" you don't even need Flash!

Is that more clear?
OpenLaszlo ! = Flash

For a practical example, check out http://www.laszlomail.com/ -- this is a very complete webmail implementation with a rich, dynamic user experience that rivals a desktop mail client. More applications are linked from the OpenLaszlo wiki here: http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/OpenLaszlo_Application
