Flash 9 for Linux Beta Out<\/a>

Very happy to see over at Penguin.swf that the folks from Adobe have released<\/a> a beta of their Flash client for Linux. Wait, the Boston Globe Red Sox online videos now work? Make that exceedingly<\/i> happy. <\/p>\n

ESPN’s InMotion doesn’t appear to function properly – no big loss there – but at least I’m not getting that immensely frustrating “Please upgrade your client to Flash 8” message any longer. As ESPN demonstrates, there appear to be a handful of sites that present minor compatibility issues, but overall the player seems to be functioning more or less as expected for members of the Gentoo<\/a> and Ubuntu<\/a> communities. So far the most popular destination for newly equipped Linux Flash users seems to be SciFi.com’s Battlestar Gallactica site. No surprise there. <\/p>\n

One quick note to Ubuntu users: following the installation instructions included with the player won’t work, you need instead to copy the libflashplayer.so file over to \/usr\/lib\/firefox\/plugins, restart Firefox and you should be all set. You can also drop it into the Mozilla directory and link to it from that directory as specified here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Now if only I’d had this while the Sox were still playing…
