What Flash-Aid seems to do is 1 remove flash that is in the way and 2
install up to date Adobe. In principle -- as I think you are saying --
Flash-Aid shouldn't be necessary.  But for naive users such as myself
-- I'm currently trying to use Ubuntu as a tool rather than as a
development target -- Flash-Aid currently works without my having to
know how.
