The flash-plugin is now so secure I can no longer play flash videos on youtube. I don't blame the Salix guys for this because its a fine OS. Just to say that problems flash causes with linux distros, and the hours of fruitless buggering around it can take trying to get it going, I'm sincerely glad this is the last flash release which supports linux. Hopefully html5 will prove far better.
