Re: Gnash != useless
You right im not a Mathematichs.;)
I agree with you Petter here, offcours the alternative 2 is best as default.
If people need, they can install flashplayer-nonfree them self. And i

Lets just hope that the html5 will take over, and the need of flash will reduce.
Becouse that tecknology on linux have never been good.
