I'm still fairly newish to linux, having migrated from Windows over
the last six months. So I'm still trying different things.
I think I had the false impression that Flash plugin wouldn't work on
linux. Maybe I heard that Shockwave wouldn't work, or I was just trying
to avoid installing a non open source version and sort of blocked
it out of mind. I tried Gnash recently, but it seems quite buggy still.
Firefox in Wine seems like a good place to put the proprietary Flash
plugin, anyway.
Regards,
Anton.
