What are they all!? :c) The first one is a shell. Those that start with flashplugin are based on the third-party GPL version, which is a nice idea, but basically doesn't work. The linux-flashplugin versions are based on the a real macromedia produced linux binary, and work very well. If you are happy to run a third-party binary, then you need linuxpluginwrapper and one of the linux-flashplugin versions. I think version 6 is the stable port and 7 is a beta-port (the last time I looked it didn't work with firefox)
