Hi all,

I'm trying to rid my Linux installation of all potential corporate
spyware, seeing as how (A) the companies may be up to no good
for their own purposes and (B) they companies' software may be
conduits for the US government, to allow the Feds to spy
on Linux users. Now that spying is apparently the Feds' #1 priority
(and that of the Democratic whores in Congress) I have to
take this a little more seriously.

My present goal is to avoid the use of Adobe flash plug-in.
I think I saw that there is a free flash compiler out there,
but anybody know if there is a free player?

If not, perhaps one safe thing I can think of to do is to only
run Firefox (Windows version) in Wine, which I assume can't peruse
my system without someone writing a virus specifically to
attack Wine. If I run the Linux version of Firefox with the
plug-in, presumably that gives them a back door into
my entire system.

Or, perhaps I can just create a new user & group for
flash-enabled web browsing that can't access anything
else on my system and put the plug-ins in ~/.mozilla.
Hmm, I think I just solved my problem.
