Yes, apparently it is, I have no problems with Flash that I'm aware of. |
| 28 |
I usually check this by going to my ISP's home page which shows current |
| 29 |
news items using a Flash applet embedded in the page. If I needed the |
| 30 |
actual shockwave player, though, I'd have to install it with Wine, which |
| 31 |
is very much doable, I've done that a couple of times; |

I do almost feel that I may have had to make that symlink myself though. |
| 56 |
It's so long ago I don't remember anymore. |

Hope this helps somewhat (at least you know it can work) |
