Flash on 64 bit Gutsy didn't work at all for me.  Flash on 64 bit Hardy has been working fine
so far.

I totally agree with the lesson in the story.  I tried moving my brother to Linux back in 2004
and discovered it was probably 6 years too early.  "Terminal?"  He was absolutely horrified
and still teases me about it.

At this rate, I think Linux (Ubuntu or Fedora) might be ready to try again in 2010.  Even if
flash, mpg and wmv work right out of the box, I'm going to have a really hard time convincing
him to try it again...

Flash on 32-bit Slackware has never worked reliably for me. I don't find I miss much...
