Too bad Adobe isn't very co-operative!  Seriously...  Flash works
better under Wine than natively because they put more work into their
windows version.  The Linux version of flash depends on an ancient C++
library, OSS, runs only on i386, and talks bare X11.  If they were
serious about supporting Linux at all, we'd see an SDL version for at
least 10 archs.
