 How well do the flash plugin's work Hey all, I haven't used linux on my desktop for awhile now (but I have some servers running it). My daughter doesn't use her computer that much anymore so i'm thinking of putting linux on it. For her games she can use my workstation but i'm wondering how good the flash plugins are for the popular linux browsers? How do they function compared to windows? Is it seamless? Buggy? slower? Most of the time she just surfs the web but all the sites she goes to extensively uses flash (ie, barbie.com..) Thanks Dave -- ---- david.best@sympatico.ca "Thanks to the remote control I have the attention span of a gerbil!" "There are 10 types of people in the world.

| Kernel 2.6.0 hates my keyboard Hello. I've recently upgraded from the Debian 2.2.20 kernel to the 2.6.0-2 kernel I compiled from the source I downloaded with dselect, and now my keyboard hates me the moment the new Linux kernel boots. The keyboard works fine for LILO, but once the bootup text starts scrolling, I can't even Shift+PageUp, much less login or what not. The LED lights don't even respond. I tried plugging in a different keyboard to no avail. But it's ok when I boot from the old kernel. Also, the new kernel isn't panicking or locking up; it runs crontabs fine, for example. I recompiled several times, each time disabling more and more things to narrow down the problem. One part of the dmesg that makes me suspicious is when it says mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 i8042c: Can't write CTR while closing KBD. serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 My kernel configuration file is online at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~edelreal/docs/kernel.conf and my dmesg is up at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~edelreal/docs/dmesg.txt My motherboard is a PT432B (by Pine-Tech). Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Not at all the same! The browser never crashes, the machine never crashes, ... :-) Sorry. I've had it working in Opera and Mozilla on SuSE and Debian. At the same time, I've read a lot of complaints from people running bleeding edge browsers who have trouble with it. > Buggy? slower? Most of the time she just surfs the web but all the sites > she goes to extensively uses flash (ie, barbie.com..) Hmm . Pretty much the same as what I use it for: headhunters' and recruiters' sites. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
