the version dansar has in Ubuntu 9.10 is 10,0,32,18

I asume there may be later revision of this for linux

on a system here XP shows 10,0,32,18

The above had me totaly confused! as to the reasons why

dansar had expressed his wishes to use linux

but also could not understand RE: Flash Player Works on XP but not on Ubuntu9.10

I think the above is self explanatory
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '
But will leave this thread open for your points of view and comments

Please on this one Keep it clean

Try adding the Medibuntu repository to your software sources:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repository

This should install the latest flashplayer and other useful media-related things.

Well it works for me.

Go to this page and it will automatically download:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(.deb)

double click on the file and click install.

PS: Flash on Linux sucks. Its num#1 problem is that it uses too much CPU than it should. However on a fast CPU PC you shouldn't notice.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

I think with drivers its important to always get the latest and not install old versions in the ubuntu repositories.
