As a PowerPC user who recently purchased an AMD64 desktop, I've been having such problems for many years. For too many vendors "Linux" means "i386".
I only hope that new Web standards (SVG?) and improved GPLflash will change the situation. By the way, while looking around, I noticed that the GPLflash project is having an IRC meeting on the 29th of October: http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/IRCMeeting mathieu Le 2005-10-19, à 21:50:56 -0400, Jeffrey Hahn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) écrit: > It may be of interest to those on this list that there is a slashdot > thread<http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/19/1959200>< > http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/19/1959200> started this > afternoon on the topic of Macromedia's refusal to develop a solution for > Flash on 64-bit Linux.
