# Adobe Flash Player for Linux (version 9.0.48.0 as of my last update)
# ============================
# Naturally, every distribution, source tarball, and binary tarball all

# If your browser's plugins directory isn't listed below, let me know.
# Make sure you upgrade if you have 9.0.45.0 or less installed:
