Below is an exchange between an angry Macromedia shareholder and an Macromedia tech support. It appears that Macromedia promises that Flash 6 for Linux will be available this summer.
While I am on this subject, allow me to make a few extra comments.
On your drive to push the adoption (or at least the consideration thereof) of LTSP for Hawaii schools, you are doing a very good job. But deep down, I feel that school adms will come out with other excuses if you solve this problem. (The next most common excuse will most likely be, which is indeed quite laughable: do you have a virus protection protocol?) I strongly believe that eventually we will need to consider a legal solution--taking the schools to the court. As taxpayers, we should have a voice as to how our tax $$$ is being spent. But I believe you are taking the right step in focusing your initial effort on private schools.
I am thinking about doing the same thing with Texas, oops, Hawaii, Bar Association. Currently, it has adopted a water-tight Microsoft-only policy (the most outrageous in the country). Don't get me wrong, Microsoft makes very good products, but since our state bar has a compulsory due-paying policy (and I believe we have one of the highest dues among all the states that I am licensed), I don't think the State Bar should be aiding and abetting an illegal monopoly at the expense of its members.
I probably should not have brought the above issue, but my main point is, we need to have a workable turn-key solution for business Linux desktop users before we step up our advocacy. George and I have completed a pretty good first phrase in this regard, and I would welcome more volunteers to help trying out different desktop packages and documenting our user experience.
