Macromedia Flash 9 for Linux

In a recent post of mine, I talked about using the mplug yum repository to install the Adobe Flash Player web browser plugin (Adobe bought Macromedia in 2005).

I also talked a little about the future of Flash Player on Linux. The main thing is that Flash 8 will probably never come to Linux, but 8.5 would. Today, I came across this post by Emmy Huang which talks about Flash Player 9 for Linux. There should be a Linux beta late this year for public testing with the final release sometime in early 2007, according to Huang.

Also, there is a new Penguin.SWF blog at Adobe, run my "Mike M." Go there for all the latest on Flash for Linux.
