Finally, a .deb for Flash Player
For some time, Flash Player has been a sticking point for new Linux users. On most sites, Firefox will prompt you to automatically installl it, but some sites (such as YouTube) try to deal with it on their own. This has previously caused problems for Ubuntu users, since Adobe has not put out a .deb package of Flash Player. Now, with Flash Player 10 for Linux, that has changed!
If you still have not installed Flash Player on your Ubuntu or Debian machine (yeah, right) or if you want to upgrade to Flash Player 10, head over to the Adobe Flash Player download page. From there, just choose “.deb for Ubuntu 8.04+.” Once you download the .deb file, just double click on it and choose install. Restart your browser, and there you go!
It is great to see Adobe taking this step, which should make it easier on new Linux users.

This is a short-lived victory. With 8.10 comes Flash 10 also, so there’s virtually no need for this. And Ubuntu MOTU tweaks it constantly so it provides better Ubuntu integration. This is a victory, but not really.
For some strange reason i try to download it since 1 1/2 days now but keep getting a 404 if i try the .deb file. Anyone who got it could upload it somewhere maybe?
