Actually, it works pretty well on 7.10 (at least on straight Ubuntu).  
The first time you go to a site that requires flash, it prompts you 
download a plug-in (nspluginwrapper).

This is still an issue, though there's something called "IceTea" or 
"IcedTea" (heh) that's supposed to work.  I haven't had any problems, 
but I also haven't tried to do any serious Java.

I've been pretty impressed with the improvements in the 64-bit arena in 
7.10.  Your advice is still probably good, but some of the issues are 
being resolved, a release at a time.  :)
