It's a bit of both actually. The kids are defiantly youtube users but many of the teachers here are embracing google apps in a way that they hadn't last spring when I put this box in place. > Or, alternatively, I've had good luck with viewing flash videos using gnash. > However, installing the gnash plugin will make it so that ALL flash apps go > through gnash.

I guess I would uninstall flash-nonfree or whatever it's now called and install flash. That's defiantly worth a look. > One of the things that I recently commented on in the #ltsp irc channel is, > when ltsp4.2 came out, flash was a luxury that most teachers didn't want, > simply because they didn't want kids fooling around.

Yeah, I guess I didn't really start feeling it until this year, but Adobe really seems to have the web working its way. Thanks for your insights.
