I hope people are not developing linux just for your use. Actually I really don't like flash animations and such a stuff, but Mandrake 9.0 is about to be released and other users, not so skilled like you and flash lovers (for example) would like to know what is happening. Don't you think?
Is the whole development made just for aces and gurus??? Macromedia haters?

I don't _want_ flash, yet it harasses me about it all the time (and doesn't let you use the browser until you click "cancel"). One of the things I always do with a fresh Mozilla is rm -f ~/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so. -- -- Igor
