[Sugar-devel] Flash on Browse Activity - Ubuntu

[Sebastian Silva]

Gustavo,

It's been four years already that Adobe dropped support for Linux [1].
Yes there are workarounds on "life support". Some distros, even google,
maintain some kind of solution. Maybe even OLPC can help you. But
really, I invite you to think this thru.

I have seen many times XO deployers wanting to put a checkmark on "flash
support" and they often do it. In practice, have you tried Flash on an
XO? It's practically worthless. So you need to decide if you want to
provide the best user experience or rather put a checkmark on "flash
support".

If you have specific contents you own you /could /try to sugarize your
swf with a wrapper that somebody made. I've seen this work, but if I
were you I think efforts rewriting in an open format are better spent
[because they can be reused].

Regards,
Sebastian
