Adobe ships Flash player for Linux

[phranque]

Adobe Systems on Tuesday made good on a promise to release a Linux version of the latest Flash Player, software that lets Web browsers view multimedia information such as YouTube videos or animated advertisements.

The software is one ingredient needed to make Linux computers competitive with Windows and Mac OS X systems, for which Adobe released version 9 of the Flash Player in November. The new version will be distributed along with the software from the two major commercial Linux powers, Red Hat and Novell, Adobe said Wednesday.
