No, of course not.  But that's a general problem with Linux, not a specific 
to 64-bit.  I think we're all looking forward to the gradual demise of Flash in 
favour of something that's actually a standard.  Or at least to something where 
the client implementations keep up with the servers.  Because that's one of the 
problems with Flash -- that people with servers unnecessarily rush to update to 
the latest version, leaving the Linux clients in the dist.
