Yellow Dog Enthusiasts,

Flash Player 9 Beta is now available for Linux, but not for the Power architecture. Fortunately, Adobe offers a 'feature request' form: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/ind ... e=wishform

I ask each and every one of you to submit your request for Flash for Yellow Dog Linux in order to showcase the strength of our userbase with enthusiasm for the forthcoming Sony Playstation 3.

I encourage you to complete the form as follows in order that we speak with a single, simple voice making less complicated their support initiative. Remember, the port itself is never the obstacle, rather the on-going maintenance and support for any new platform:

This is a: Feature Request
Product name: Flash
Product Version: 9
Browser: Firefox
Web Server: Apache
App Server: Other
Database: MySQL
OS: Linux
OS version: YDL 5
Feature request: "Please make available the full suite
of Flash applications for Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 which
now supports the Sony PlayStation 3 — thank you!"

Thank you for your enthusiasm and support!

Sincerely,
kai

We all might want to also sign this?

To: Macromedia, Inc.

In recent years, Linux has grown in popularity and has been expanded to run on Apple PowerPC-based machines. Macromedia does not currently support the growing number of Linux users on PowerPC systems, which is evident by Macromedia's lack of a Linux/PPC version of the Flash Player.

With the growing popularity of Flash on the Internet, it has become a necessity to have the Flash Player installed. Many sites have adopted Flash for such things as product demos, web-based games, and comedic movies. These things have become a vital part of the Internet, and without them, the full experience can never be met. Without the inclusion of the Flash Player for Linux/PPC, many of us are unable to benefit from the full experience of certain web sites, while “Flash-only” sites are rendered useless.

One of the largest complaints about Linux/PPC from users is the lack of the Flash Player, and many potential users aren't willing to make the switch until the Flash Player is available for Linux/PPC.

We the undersigned, urge you to consider releasing a Linux/PPC version of the Macromedia Flash Player, for the sake of existing and future Linux/PPC users.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
