64-bit Flash on Ubuntu

The 64-bit plugins for all operating systems are coming fast and furious now. After holding out (or holding up?) for so long, the commercial vendors are finally getting the message.

Among those who actually deserve some credit for getting the job done is Mike Melanson of Adobe, the principal developer for Flash on Linux. His little “victory dance” can be found here, along with a link for download. Mike has the distinction of being first, I think, in getting his 64-bit product out the actual door.

As I said in the comments on Mike’s blog, his efforts have earned him consideration for divine status, in a pagan Roman kind of way.

Testing so far: Everything works. Of course. Even SciFi. So far the only one of the new 64-bit plugin releases that’s actually useful for something beyond pure research.
