While that may be, try telling that to your 4 yr old nephew who
likes to play those flash based games on PBS Kids. Almost all
Internet video has moved to flash as well (such as all the sermons
on sermons.net which my church uses). Flash is buggy, I'll give you
that, but "Don't install it." is not an option for a lot of people.
Adobe supports Windows, MacOSX, Linux, and Solaris (from
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions ). If it is
important to you that Flash works well, you should either persuade
Adobe to provide a FreeBSD version, or you should switch to using
one of the platforms on which Flash is supported.

I had little of the problems described in the original post (aside
from needing an alias for killing flash, I never actually thought of
making one until now). It doesn't change the fact that "Don't install
it." isn't a valid option. I also take issue with the "well use a
supported OS" schtick. I will tell Adobe to provide a FreeBSD-native
release, though it would be nice to know I won't be the only one. I'm
actually going right now to do so. Who's with me?
