Flash Player 10
It is not often that a critical software component is made available on Linux at the same time it is made available on Windows or even Mac OS X. The folks at Adobe deserve a lot of credit for doing just that with the latest iteration of the Flash Player, an absolute must-have plugin for any browser that wishes to trawl the Interweb.
Though Flash is a proprietary technology, there are many websites that rely on it – if you don’t have it, you’ll be disadvantaged by not being able to see all that wonderful content available!
Flash Player version 10 is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, as well as Solaris. Browser support includes Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera. The most obvious improvements are smoother representation and better graphics performance. A number of interesting features to assist with more immersive game development and better sound management have been included. More details about the new features can be found here.
Install Flash Player from here – take note that the installation will require your web browser to be restarted.
