Good enough for YouTube, Hulu, etc? What about the ATI driver (the

<pre wrap="">I run 64bit Ubuntu on my laptop. flash works fine. It is 32bit but with
the appropriate 32 bit libraries it "just works" all of which get
installed when you install flash. Java seems to work fine too. It is
worth noting that the nvidia drivers and other stuff required to support
my hardware all work with out problems. I cannot speak to the ATI
drivers stability but they are available via apt.
