But you need a Linux browser as well, because of the way plugins work. In my case I am using Konqueror, which would mean I would need a complete Linux KDE, or a duplicate Konqueror just for viewing flash. That's overkill in my opinion, so I don't do it. I used to have a separate Linux Mozilla for that purpose, but I quickly discovered that there's not much content on flash-enabled sites to make it worthwhile. p.s. Since Macromedia does not generate any direct revenue from their flash plugin, and they don't "support" it since no one pays for it, it wouldn't hurt them one bit to Open Source the plugin/player. It might even increase their indirect revenues as demand for their flash creation programs rise. They would certainly gain a lot of community good will. David
