As an interested new Fedora user, who would like to avoid proprietary software - is Gnash the way I should be looking? I've heard of another project, swfdec, but never been told which option is better supported/has more developer activity/tends to work best. Flash usage for me is fairly limited, I only use flash for last.fm, youtube, and menus on websites. Unfortunately, it is a necessary evil due to my employment.
I've been attempting to go the Adobe route (due to seemingly not having an option) - but this is a pain on 64-bit Linux. Any input would be very much appreciated!
