Lack of 64bit browser plugins (particularly Flash) is a big deal for some. Adobe's official stance on the matter has been all over the map (I don't know whether their problem is technical or political) but they've heavily favored the 32bit version and seem either unable or unwilling to produce and support a stable 64bit plugin. The most recent announcement from them that I'm aware of is that they (once again) plan to abandon the 64bit version altogether. It's possible to run the 32bit plugin using some kind of "helper" process but the last time I tried that (admittedly some time ago) it was too unstable to bother with. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
