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.

>>The thought of hobbling my new workstation makes me want to self immolate<<
How is running a 32bit app on a 64bit workstation going to hobble it? If anything the 32bit app would run faster then it's 64bit equivalent as it's binary is actually smaller.
What is the main benefit of 64bitness? The ability of a process to use over 4GB of ram mainly. I don't see why I'd need a web-browser that can do that, do you?
Now if it was a Oracele database we were talking about then yeah, but come on. Likewise what magic advantage does a 64bit "ls" grant you? other then fact that the 64bit "ls" binary is larger the 32bit one.
