Flash 9 on Linux!

Hey,

are you tired of stupid Flash 7 on your Linux. That you are not able to watch any cool stuff on the web as it is Flash 8 or Flash 9? Are you sick of the audio not being synchrononous with the video?

Well finally someone has thought about us Linux users at Adobe. They have published the first beta of the Flash Player 9 for Linux.

The only problem now is: Why is there no .deb for my Kubuntu?

Well there is no need for it. If you have flashplayer-nonfree installed you can simply do this:

# wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/
flashplayer9_update/FP9_plugin_beta_101806.tar.gz
# tar xvzf FP9_plugin_beta_101806.tar.gz
# sudo cp flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.55/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/
# sudo cp flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.55/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

This will get you and install you your FlashPlayer 9. Then just restart Firefox / Opera and you’ll get your FlashPlayer 9!

Have fun watching all that video content on Youtube, Google Videos, DailyMotion or Myspace.

amaroK 1.4

amaroK 1.4amaroK 1.4 is out now since a few weeks. I must say it is great. I haven’t seen any music player which is nicer than amaroK. It looks nice, has a nice library, and alot of extensions.
iTunes is crap compared to amaroK. It is my favourite application under Linux.

At this point I want to ask: What is your favourite Music Player? Or is it even amaroK?

OpenSource!

What is open Source?

Open Source exists as a result of the combined efforts of millions of computer programmers, users and software vendors from around the world.

They share their itellectual property freely. And they believe that software should cost nothing and should enrich the lives of users.

Open source software is the alternative and biggest challenger to close source or proprietary software.

It generally costs the user nothing. It can be distributed freely to anyone.

Download it, use it, modify it and give it away.

It’s a whole new world. Open Source is the future of computing.

Why do I tell you this?
