Dell to offer Ubuntu 7.04 on selected desk/laptops

[Mark Wallace]

I thought that it was part of the default install with Ubuntu.   It is so critical to the functioning of Firefox that you couldn't leave it out.  It either was or Firefox took you almost immediately to the plug in finder because all of those visuals that flash, like adds, run with Falshplayer.  It would be impractical to surf the net without flashplayer because almost every page would have puzzle pieces on it.

Flash is actually a proprietary format with only incomplete libre
implementations. That's why it's not included by default in Ubuntu.
