Note that there is in fact a newer version available (0.7.2) which one can
compile from source.
Netbooks usually do not have a good graphics card that supports video
decoding and thus plays video using CPU. Since the CPU is weak (e.g. Atom)
playback of high quality videos (e.g. 720P) isn't smooth. (720P video also
needs to be rescaled as the resolution is lower than that.)

The only instructions for installing any nonfree program including Flash is:
1. Do whatever the developers tell you to do.
2. Hope what you did works and doesn't break your system.
3. Be subjugated by the nonfree software. Hope that the software doesn't do
more subjugation than you expected.

Flash is non-free software, meaning it does not respect your freedom or
community. It also uses spy features that track the user and their behavior.
If you need to use non-free software, perhaps another GNU/Linux distribution
will fit your needs.
