This is probably not the answer you were expecting, so I labeled it Off
Topic.
Have you looked into the new 64bit version from Adobe?
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
I had many problems with getting 32bit flash working right. I ended up
getting something usable, but nothing satisfactory. Adobe still claims
that the 64bit version is "Alpha" and it was only released yesterday but
I have not had any issues with it yet. I have already seen a noticeable
decrease in system resources while getting much better performance. The
32bit wrapper would take minutes to load a youtube video and would crash
if I skipped around too much. None of those issues so far with the 64bit
version. All of the sites I visit work without problem (YMMV of course).
I have 2 64bit Debian Lenny systems with flash. So far 0 problems with
the 64bit flash player 10.
It is something you might want to consider.
Have fun!
