There was a thread here recently regarding Flash on Linux PPC, and the inadequacies of those that already exist on this platform. Brother Bodie found this petition for Macromedia's to be ported. Check it out, and if you feel the need for speed, then by all means sign the petition!

I wonder who gets to 1000 :-)

My sentiments exactly, but can someone tell all those poor misguided IA32 users that Flash for Linux/x86 does in fact exist? (http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/proom/pr/2004/flashplayer_linux.html)
(Of course, it's a shame it's a fiddly closed-source product that thus can't be distributed with 'Free'-minded distributions and spare the whining in the first place, but that's still no excuse. And yes, I want a Shockwave player, too.)
Edit: In other news, x86 FreeBSD users, and/or users sticking with Phoenix 0.6 (which is theoretically Mozilla 1.3a-based)... may want to stick with /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6 or the equivalent Linux package, because something about one or the other is making my effort to try 7 nondeterministic. When it works, I can say it seems quite a bit relievingly faster than 6. :-P
