What distro are you using?

Gutsy Gibbon will be coming out soon, and it makes it easy to use Flash.
Also, openSUSE 10.3 supposedly makes it easy to use Flash.

Of course, if you don't mind Linspire's deal with Microsoft, they did just
yesterday release 6.0, which Flash pre-installed, as well as a bunch of
other proprietary stuff, like Microsoft Windows Media (cough), and Quicktime
(choke).

I try to live without that stuff, but lots of people like it and Linspire
does have paying customers!  When I was first starting my Linux usage, I did
buy Linspire, and it did really help me do stuff, back when some of the
other distros were less polished.  So if you are new to Linux (unlikely, or
you wouldn't be on this list) or someone you know is new to Linux, and they
are really struggling, I would recommend buying Linspire 6.0.  Otherwise,
try openSUSE 10.3 or Gutsy.
