Last week it was BSD week: OpenBSD 4.5, NetBSD 5.0, and DragonFlyBSD 2.2.1. FreeBSD 7.2 completes the picture, with every major BSD now having a new and fresh release waiting to be installed on your desktop, laptop, or server.

FreeBSD and Flash is the same as Linux and Shockwave.
The way to get Shockwave to run on Linux is to install Wine, Windows Firefox, and the shockwave plugin.
For FreeBSD that entails running the Linux compatibility layer, Linux Firefox, and the Linux Flash plugin. Frankly, the experience is miserable, and I had stability problems with it.

You don't need Linux Firefox. Just the Linux Flash plugin, and nspluginwrapper. Then you can use the Linux Flash plugin in your native FreeBSD Firefox.
