Flash Player 9 ships for Linux
By
Adobe Systems has released Flash Player 9 for Linux, allowing users of the open-source operating system to create or use multimedia applications with the latest version of Flash. The launch comes six months after the Adobe released versions for Windows and Mac OS X.
Version 9 of the Flash Player runs scripts up to 10 times faster than previous versions, and also allows programmers to write portable applications exploiting more of the capabilities of Adobe’s Flex 2 development platform, the company said Wednesday. The player’s arrival on the Linux platform will mean Web site developers exploiting the latest Flash features can be sure of reaching the small percentage of Web surfers running Linux on their desktop.
