We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Flash for Linux? You Betcha.
Flash for Linux? You Betcha.

San Francisco-based Macromedia today announces the immediate availability of Macromedia Flash Player 7 for Linux - a new version of Macromedia Flash Player offering improved performance and security and powerful new development capabilities.

Now installed across more than 98 percent of Internet-connected desktops and a growing number of mobile devices, Macromedia Flash Player is already bundled with Linux operating systems distributed by Novell, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, and Turbolinux.

"Novell is committed to providing the world's best enterprise Linux desktop," says Charlie Ungashick, director of product marketing and management for Linux desktops at Novell. "The inclusion of Macromedia Flash Player helps Novell give users the desktop capabilities they want and need," Ungashick continued. 

"The availability of Macromedia Flash Player 7 for Linux is an indicator of the growing demand for rich applications certified for the Linux client," comments Deb Woods, RH's vice president of product management. "Red Hat currently makes Macromedia solutions available with Red Hat Desktop and looks forward to integrating future versions," she adds. 

"Macromedia is committed to the Linux platform," says Jeff Whatcott, vice president of product management, Macromedia, "and wants to make sure Linux users can experience the proven effectiveness of Flash technology on their platform of choice." 

Macromedia describes Flash Player as "the high performance runtime for effective rich Internet applications created with the recently released Macromedia Flex presentation server and expressive interactive content created with the Macromedia Flash authoring tool." Developers worldwide, according to the company, use the integrated graphics, video, audio, and data capabilities of Flash Player to deliver "the most engaging and effective experiences on the Web."

With support for CSS, Flash Player enables developers to blend HTML and Flash with consistent formatting, while new support for SOAP Web services connectivity allows developers to create rich Internet application user interfaces that handle enterprise data in a service-oriented architecture. 

Engineers from Sun Microsystems and Macromedia worked together to port the Flash Player code to the Linux platform.

Who cares? Let me know when there is a native Shockwave plugin available, and I'll sit up and take notice.

Macromedia is on the right track supporting Linux, but I wish they would do a native FreeBSD port.

It would be great if sun and macromedia would get rid of those irritating black lines that screw up the look of your flash movie in relation to the other page elements...

The player is one thing. When can I run a Macromedia Studio App. under Linux Without using Wine, Crossover, etc? The only reason I still have Windows is because of Flash, Dreamweaver, etc.

So when are we seeing a port of the authoring environment? I was hoping back when OS X emerged running on a unix core it would ease the transition of applications like Macromedia''s Studio to Linux ... haven''t really seen it yet though.

Awesome. Flash and Linux together will be a great combination.
