flash videos on Hardy

[Madzsar, Andrew]

Someone had suggested early that they use wine to run the windows
version of firefox with it's plugins.  Is this a better alternative?

Flash seems to be brought up as a problem quite frequently.  I know that
at the Edubuntu labs that I take care of (which have
flashplugin-nonfree), it's a major CPU hog and tends to make Firefox
crash.  Has anybody tried Gnash?  How is it?
