Flash Player 9 update beta (Updated)
This journal entry is deprecated. Please see (e:computer,42) for an update
Adobe has released an (update) beta of Flash Player 9 including versions for Linux and Vista.
The Linux release is reported to work for Fedora 6.
I couldn't get it to work completely (bad rendering and no sound) with the DR of Elive. Apparently, this flash beta will not work with ESD even if the proper ALSA libraries (libaound.so) are present and ESD uses ALSA.
The latest stable release of Simply Mepis also had no sound despite the use of ALSA but the rendering was much better.
Texstar, the maintainer of PCLinuxOS posted on the Adobe forums that he couldn't get it to work (both Firefox and Konqy crashed) with his distro. So I figured if he couldn't get it to work, I sure as hell couldn't.
