Running the windows version > of firefox under wine does at least partially work with flash 9. Just a follow up to this. I just read an interview with the lead engineer for Adobe's Flash Player team. He says the Flash 9 player for Linux is expected for early 2007. Read the interview at http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=96 (originally linked from /. http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/06/08/30/0531253.shtml ) You can read his blog, called Penguin SWF, at http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf He did say that they are currently working on x86 based Flash Player. If you want something else (alternative OS, like BSD or 64 bit or PPC) to use the Wish Form at http://www.adobe.com/go/wish rather than posting in the Penguin SWF blog. -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Random Thought: YOW!!
