I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 as a secondary boot option to my XP SP3 system.
As soon as it was installed, which didn't take very much really, I wanted to see if anything was changed regarding the use of flash. It's not shipped by default, since it's not open source software, but Abobe's site doesn't provide a proper installation for 64 bit systems. When it gives you the option to download the deb package, what it doesn't say is that it expects the x86 architecture to be in use. Luckily, with some browsing, you can come to the right solution, but if you don't have the time to search for them, here's one that worked for me.

in short, download the package, open a terminal and navigate to the download folder, then run the mentioned commands.
