So you want to view YouTube videos but you don't want to install
proprietary software? Namely that pesky Adobe Flash plugin, so well
known for being a multi-operating-system "virus"-platform?
There's a simple answer for you, just install Miró!
You can use your friendly GUI interface, or just open a terminal
account, elevate to root priviledges and install it like this:
[rms at nietzche ~]$ yum -v search miro
