Graphics, User Interfaces 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.

To make flash work in Opera, just untar the file you download from Adobe, and copy libflashplayer.so to Opera's plugin directory. Works great in Ubuntu edgy, and i imagine it shouldn't be much diferent for other distros.

Or You can just add ~/.mozilla/plugins path (or whatever path is used in Your setup) to ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini file (it works fine here, but i use only flash plugin, so i can't be sure if all mozilla plugins work ok in Opera too).

Thanks to Macromedia/Adobe for porting flash to Linux. Now if only they could port it to BeOS/Haiku, Syllable, SkyOS, and other small systems... ;) .
