On Etch do the following:

open a console and log in as root and type:

echo "deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 16BA136C
gpg --export | apt-key add -

aptitude update
aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree

Enjoy Youtube

Hello everyone genius type people,
Can you help, I don't know much about computers (in comparison to you guys) and nearly zero about linux/debian, however after my friend had a rather fatal problem with windows recently I decided to try Debian and I love it. So I installed the lastest stable version, etch, and have very nearly got a system with the same functionality as the old windows system however I simply cannot seem to get u tube videos to play correctly., under windows they ran perfectlly but now the video is very 'jerky'. I am unsure about the further details you require and so instead of guessing could you let me know what you need (and maybe how to find it) I will send you the details. I have googled myself to near insanity but cannot find anything that directly helps. My apologies if I'm not being clear or doing something wrong.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.

reult from last advice seemed to install ok details to follow but no affect on the frame rate on u tube, I get a picture update about one a sec and a half, I know it can't be hardware as nothing has changed in hardware or connection speed, oh and when I right click the video and go to ? it lists on the website that loads that I am running version 9,0,152,0 should this not be 10.something? sending result or last advice now
