I googled for 'linux flash player 9', and it appears its out of beta now.
The link to labs.adobe.com for it was about 4 or 5 down from the top of 
the list google returned.  Unfortunately, the link to the full 9 release, 
when clicked on, links to FP7, not FP9 even though the text in the link 
says its flash player 9, but with a 9*.  Down at the bottom, in greyed 
out text, it says *for winderz & macs.  So I just backed out to the 
initial page at <http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/> and 
grabbed the beta via the top link.

Installed, it has been stable so far and I've hit several sites using 
anims without problems.
