To be correct: Flash is now *limited* supported on linux, solaris (only
the basic Flash-player).
Windows support is complete. Mac seems to be complete (dunno whether
only PPC or all types of Mac). Linux support is *extremely* limited
as is solaris (AFAIK solaris is also available on non-Sun architectures).
Non-Intel PC platforms are completely unsupported for Linux.
*No* BSDI, SCO, AIX, IRIX, HP-UX, FreeBSD, etc. support at the moment
(and I doubt there ever will be).
This is really not enough to support Flash on the Internet, IMHO.
And besides this leaves the ht://Dig topic, so we'd better quit this ;-)
