    Removed 5.0.2 with GDebi,...
  2. Re: CRITICAL Adobe Flash Player 0 day vulnerability and active exploit

    Well anyway. I kind-of gave up on running flash in Ubuntu when Flash went from version 9 to 10 and fell off the Fenway Park wall into the street. Since then (lo, many years ago), I have installed...
