And since this is a sun hardware group, let's not forget that while
there may be a linux flash plug-in that works (in some cases) on i386
distros, it doesn't work on sparc, so for those of us running linux on
sun hardware there are a lot less ads!!! But joking apart, I'd like the
choice and would install a sparc flash plug-in if I could find anything
that worked. I gave up on the third party players some while back...

Now if Adobe/Macromedia were to encourage development on platforms that
they may not think are worthwhile things might get going a lot better.
