i don't know about mp3, as I use ogg. Flash definitely did NOT work for me out of the box, even in 10.0 Eval with things like out-of-the-box support for Atheros wireless cards.
flash has always worked out of the box for me, that has never been a problem. I've never heard others complain about it either
There is a problem at the moment, in that some web pages have started requiring flash v. 8, which we don't have support for at the moment, but that is - as far as I'm aware - not a legal problem. Flash is not covered by patents in the same way mp3 is. It's just that so far, there hasn't been an open source alternative usable for anything. gnu gnash may eventually become usable, but for now we're stuck with what Macromedia/Adobe give us, and they won't give us an updated flash player until 2007, from what I read
Yeah, there's a blog going by the chief developer on the project. You can see the progress right here: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/ I read somewhere that you can change a setting in FireFox which will fool websites into thinking you're running Flash 8, at which point 99% of those sites will work. I'll get to it once I figure out this SMART thingy. And yes - flash works OOTB in 10.0 and 10.1. I believe I had to install it in 9.x. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
