There is also the option to use qemu (to emulate an x86 Linux system) along 
with the x86 linux flash player binary.

Personally I just avoid flash sites though; they bug me on a technical level 
(since websites shouldn't depend on proprietary, non-html technology), and 
offend me on an ethical level (since they discriminate against blind users 
and ppc linux users etc.).  I figure it's best to just boycott any site that 
uses flash :)
