are linux flash nightmares over? probably not
Thats a good question, all that time i had to view flash based content in my browser my processor suffered, and i suffered at the same time because the browsing pleasure was very low. On October 15 Adobe released a new flash - version 10. And guess what on the download page there is a direct link for Ubuntu 8.04+! Being a Ubuntu user from a couple of years i was very pleasantly surprised. I removed my old flash install and flawlessly installed the new version. With new versions there is always now hopes for better but not this time :( It crashed on the adobe.com page, second impression it kills my work Ubuntu box that is equipped with AMD Sempron 3000+. Watching a small youtube clip consumed 60 % of my processor resources. So nothing changed, i hope the first crash was just a single accident :)
