Yes, I do remember that the one thing that I didn't like about Debian (which Ubuntu is based on). Was, that it took allot of Royal Pain in the But, messing around with Flash and Java too. In order to keep your Web Surfing Addons Up to Date and working well. I ran Debian Etch for 2 years and loved it, except that every time there was a Flash or Java update, I had to manually install them, over and over again. With Fedora, Java is still a Big Pain. But I don't remember the last time I had to manually update Flash. If I remember right... I think it now comes with the Yum Updates. Not sure on that. But I don't remember the last time I had to mess with Flash in my Fedora 14 system. Other than the install, when I rebuilt my System a couple of weeks ago. But, in my 6 years of running Linux. Flash and Java have been the most aggravating things I have had to deal with. Working, not Working... Manual installs and updates... And worst of all... Flash Using up 100% of my Processor Power because of it's many Bugs!:O
