Adobe Systems has finally released the long-awaited Adobe Flash Player 9 for Linux. This version of Flash Player was meant to be feature-comparable to Adobe's latest Windows and Mac OS versions, and is the first version of Flash on Linux that really is just as good as the Windows and Mac OS versions. Additionally, a tutorial on how to install it on Ubuntu and on Fedora.

As far as I know it is not native 64bit but can be run with nspluginwrapper.

PowerPC support?
Come on Adobe, free up the source so we can port it ourselves.

Short answer: no. Long answer: Nope. More luck with Flash 10

Hopefully Flash 10 will support Linux on PPC as well.

Hey, I just thought, maybe a proliferation of Linux on the PS3 will help that effort along.

If you're using KDE, Konqueror 64-bit will support 32-bit plugins, so no particular issues there. Works just fine on Suse 10.2 x86_64, anyways.

Do you really need a 64bit web browser tbh? I think i'm happy allowing firefox stay as a 32bit app on my x86_64 installs.

No.
If it makes you feel better Adobe doesn't support 64bit Windows either.
While Adobe is supposed to be working on 64bit flash (for both Windows and Linux), somehow I don't see it happening any time soon.

In short, Gnash.
