+1 for Jim's suggestion. For 32 bit Ubuntu one of the easiest ways to get non-GPL's things working (including flash java etc) if to google for easyubuntu and use the python script from there. Turns whole thing to matter of few clicks and a little patience for downloads to complete :-) 64 bit is still a problem for flash. Something I read at slashdot implied that new version from macromedia is in works in time for vista release and that will be available for Linux too. Active work is going on this. Maybe google can be helpful for curious. So a few more months and 64bit will also "flash by.."
