Your config is not one of the most standard, isn't it?

Flash is, for me, not a _must have_ (as explained by the other posts),
but including ``facilities'' for it in Debian would be really
necessary: something like 90% of the users must encounter the same
problem as me, and, despite having a nice documentation, Debian is
here lacking something. (I really like Debian and I would not use
another distro, but this is something from my personal point of view.)

I had also problems for Java and related apps. Is default-jre already
installed with a default install of Debian?
