How I setup Flash on my fresh Fedora 10 x86_64 install.
Close Firefox
Change to the Firefox plugins directory:
cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
Download the Flash plugin:
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
Extract the plugin:
tar -xvzf libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
Remove the .tar.gz as you now have the plugin extracted:
rm libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
Open Firefox & you should be away!

Do you run a squid proxy? I do, and have been restarting squid to apply config changes for ages. Turns out that you can just run “service squid reload”, users have no down time and your config changes get applied. Great. Wish I had thought to check that before now…..

IE8 (Due out later this year), will render in “Standards Mode” by default.
Web developers of pages that work nicely in IE7 and nothing else can request IE8 to use IE7’s mode via the “http header/meta tag approach”. Hopefully this move will enable much better cross browser and developers of troubled sites will invest the time [...]
