Although not packaged, gnash already does support some implementations of flash video players. Youtube is of course a popular video site but there are zillions of others, and some of the video players don't quite work in gnash. The gnash developers have recently got some funding. I believe they have 12 devs working on it at the moment - hopefully rising to around 30. They are a top bunch of guys and really deserve our support! If you can go through the gnash compilation/installation steps (prior to gutsy) and report bugs to the gnash guys then it can only help to make gnash better for when gutsy does release. That way we can have a great distro with a free-flash player. Cheers Al.
