Ubuntu right now is not an officially supported Linux distribution though we are working on changing that. There are a number of Linux bug fixes coming out pretty soon actually (at least in a beta player). We do care about Linux and will continue to work on it, but unfortunately with even more distributions than other operating systems we sometimes can't fix everything on every distro. So stay tuned.

Hello folks, I finally made my switch to GNU/Linux. It has been an awesome experience so far (both in terms of fun and learning). I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). However, I found out that the Linux version of Flash Player 9 appears to be somewhat buggy. It starts with the context menu, though not a bug in itself, its appearance is kind of ugly and out of context. Then, in the official adobe website, the dhtml drop-down menus appear below the flash header. This is more another one of the "please, support gnu/linux at once!" messages. Please, provide native Linux support for the Adobe family of software - PS, FB, FL and so on. The FUD that Linux users don't pay for software is certainly not a fact. The Linux world has changed and is constantly changing. Many Windows users are making the switch to GNU/Linux for various reasons. It is currently a very good alternative to Windows and I'm sure many flash developers are currently using it. I just feel that Adobe currently only "fills some gaps" and don't treat the problem from the root. The lack of Linux Flash Player releases for quite some time is an example of it. Marcelo.
