[plug] What version of CPU and Linux do people use?

[Ian Ball]

The biggest issue with 64 bit Linux is the lack of Flash.  The Gnash Flash
player does a reasonable job of basic flash menus, etc on pages, but cannot
play Flash videos like on You Tube.  It is beyond me why Adobe is not
working on a version of Flash player that works on 64 bit.  (I believe even
Windows 64 bit has difficulties with Flash and other device drivers, etc).
