GNASHing my teeth in Ubuntu

After installing Ubuntu 7.10, I decided that this time round, I would try out GNASH (GNU Flash) the open source Flash player. So, when prompted to do so by Firefox, I selected the GNASH extension instead of Adobe Flash. Unfortunately this left a lot to be desired. GNASH just did not work on many sites, most notably YouTube. I also think that this was the cause for Firefox hanging very often.

I have removed the GNASH mozilla plugin and instead installed the Adobe Flash player plugin, so far I have not had any problems, and YouTube videos load fine. It seems the GNU Flash project will need some more time to iron out any issues. Hopefully future versions will work better.
