Generally in Ubuntu, the way to install software is using the "Synaptic Package Manager" under the System->Administration menu. 1. Start Synaptic (you'll probably be asked for your password). 2. Click search and enter "flashplugin-nonfree" 3. If it finds it, you need to right-click on it and click "Mark for installation". On the toolbar, click "Apply". The package should download and install itself. 4. If the package isn't found, you might need to click Settings->Repositories and tick the boxes to enable the "universe" and "multiverse" repositories and click "apply" on the toolbar. > On windows it was so easy. When you change operating sytem you'll naturally find things are a little unfamiliar. In Ubuntu, packages are generally installed using the package manager. This may seem a little unusual, but if you explore the program, you'll see how powerful it is. In that one program you download, add and remove all software in the Ubuntu archive (which is a very large amount of software).
