Welcome!

Prepare yourself and get used to the thought that some things might not
work. It is not a problem of free software as technology in geenral, but
in the minds of people who see the world in other shapes and colors and
think that technology, media and sometimes knowledge should be
restricted, so they can protect their (financial) interest. There is
nothing wrong in protecting your (financial) interest, but there is no
valid excuse when doing it at the expense of others.

Have in mind that the freedom aspect of free software comes from a
system called GNU [1] and the free software movement. Linux is just a
kernel (software that manages the hardware directly) and the proper name
we use is GNU/Linux [2] to give credit to both projects. The Linux camp
usually talks about open source [3] and their understanding of software
freedom (if any) is different than the one that the free software
community have [4] in mind.

Be prepared to have problems with anything that requires Flash. There
are work-arounds for some problems, but not for all and not always.

I don't have Gnash (free software Flash player that comes with Trisquel)
and I see HTML5 video player, but it does not load the clip for the page
you provided. It might work elsewhere. Try disabling Gnash (Tools/Add
ons/Plugins => Shockwave  Flash in the browser) and check some other
pages on the website.

File a bug report [4] for Linterna Mágica. I can't promise (I'm the
developer) anything, but when I have the spare time I'll see if anything
can be done.
