Their last Linux release only exists for x86.
Two ArchLinux mailinglists are advising users about uninstalling Flash from
our systems.
Flash is hardly working on BSD. And often bug on Linux.
I spent one month, for my work, trying to correct a few of those crashes (w=
e
provide FreeBSD servers, our administrative intranet uses Flash sockets).
Well, nspluginwrapper source is a complete mindfuck.
Just wait for newer releases, and check if what you need works.
For now, HTML5 is about to replace it, spreading on Youtube&Co., and we
still did not knew a working version of Flash under Linux.
The day Adobe would provide compatible softwares, they may speak about
supporting Linux/Solaris...
Until that, the cleanest way to proceed, is to setup a Windows VM...
