You would think with Java being so portable that it would actually work. I too have trouble with java sometimes, but for the most part it seems to work.
The problem however with Flash isn't Linux its Macromedia. Macromedia sold their soul to the devil a long time ago, and who knows if they even care anymore. Last time I check there was a webpage that you could fill out a form saying you want Flash 6 for Linux, and they would think about it. With Flash moving into .NET stuff I doubt Flash 6 will happen in any timely manner if at all. IMHO, Mozilla still seems the best option over Konqueror. I found Konqueror to be a bit kludgy last I checked it (KDE 3.1). None-the-less the out-of-the-box solutions are there, but no matter how hard we try they are still lacking a few proprietary formats.
