Ubuntu & Flash Player
Linux newbie here.
Over the weekend I installed Ubuntu on what had recently been a (broken) Win XP system. This was my first foray into the world of *ix, and the learning curve was fairly steep. The results, so far, have been such that I'm now considering dumping the Win OS completely; but there is just one small problem - Adobe Flash doesn't work.
Trying to install "install_flash_player_10_linux.deb" downloaded from get.adobe dot com gives the message "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'". Admitted, the CPU is AMD64 .. but that hasn't been a problem up to now. Is there a suitable alternative I haven't yet found?
If not, I guess I'll just have to wait for a few days and install Win 7. (Unable to survive without iPlayer etc.).
