The onlyFOSS implementation Ubuntu 10.10 includes in the standard repos is the woefully behind-the-spec Gnash. Disclaimer: i willingly use closed-source software (and even pay for it) when i can't easily find a reliable FOSS solution. After all, i write software for a living. -- ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
