i knew about the pre-release adobe 64-bit flash plugin, so a couple
questions:
1) is this now the *preferred * way to go, rather than messing
around with 32-bit emulation? as in, is the adobe plugin now
considered stable enough to be the superior approach?
2) got a link for the "beta" version for downloading? i poked
around but it wasn't clear which version i would be getting. (i
clearly recall an alpha version, are you saying there's a newer
version?)
3) if i go with the 64-bit plugin, how much of the above that i
installed can i now remove? i'm assuming all of the i586 stuff can be
tossed.
