51 -a couple ways to get Flash working.

55 -First, you can use a 32-bit browser like <c>mozilla-firefox-bin</c> or
56 -<c>opera</c> with the 32-bit Flash. After emerging the -bin package of your
57 -favorite browser, install Flash by doing <c>emerge netscape-flash</c>.

61 -Second, you can use a 64-bit browser such as <c>mozilla-firefox</c> with the
62 -32-bit Flash plugin by emerging <c>nspluginwrapper</c>, a which lets you load
63 -32-bit plugins on 64-bit browsers. Install your browser, <c>netscape-flash</c>,
64 -and then <c>nspluginwrapper</c>. The wrapper will automatically detect and setup
65 -Flash for your browser.
66 +Yes. Just <c>emerge netscape-flash</c>. Adobe has provided a 64-bit Flash plugin
67 +starting with version 10.0.22.87.

75 -OpenOffice versions prior to 2.0.4 do not build on 64bit systems, so you have to
76 -use the 32bit binary version, available in Portage as

80 +Yes. Run <c>emerge openoffice</c>. It may take several hours and use most of
