64bit Flash plugin for Linux, finally!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Pigs seem to be able to fly as Adobe today released a preview 64bit release of it’s Flash plugin!

Are the days of using nspluginwrapper finally over? I suppose we can’t expect too much of a preview but those days seem to be coming!

If now we get a fast 64bit native java runtime (with a working -client option please), I guess the productive life in the 64bit Linux world is finally no more painful than the 32bit world.

Kudos Adobe, this is a step in the right direction!

Now, please also create a Linux version equivalent (or even something better maybe) to Digital Editions and I can actually take advantage of my digital subscribtion to www.standaard.be to read the entire paper digitally.
