Native 32 and 64-bit linux Flash 10 Preview Release available

[Eliot Frost]

I use FlashBlock, and I only allow Flash on sites I trust (YouTube is a
pretty good bet for not having malware). It also blocks the Flash tracking
"cookies" that sites such as Facebook use, which is an added bonus. Someday
we'll be able to get along great without flash, but as long as I want to
look at adorable kitties on YouTube, that day isn't here yet. Unless Youtube
has deployed Ogg Theora for Video?
