Beat d`Distros

Flash MX and other utilities really had been a creditable stuff Macromedia had left for Adobe.Things are going swimmingly right now at college sympos, doing bit in flashy stuff does not quite really matter your ideals, rather a satisfaction being delivered for the cause. Really its streaming ones skills over the dias does makeover a credit. Some jack whose name I cannot well remember just posed a question I wanted to ponder over as on What Streaming flash movies in a Linux mode. Sounds navaric though as in, I wish to play multiple Flash videos for my buddies in multiple Firefox browser tabs with na a crash nor a thread hang. In fact, I’m feeling so confident about the stability that I’m actually composing this entry while a YouTube music video plays in another tab. Nervously, but still.

Really none does comment the Linux multimedia stuff. I know this may sound simple, but there are problems that can crop up, which we have been dealing with one by one. This afternoon, I wanted to build one and tried it across several Linux installations we have handy around the labs.

Here is the success report:
Gentoo- naturally, since that’s the build machine
Ubuntu
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
SuSE Linux 10.1

But these distros did not work in this impromptu test for fear of starting rumors that we don’t plan to support those distros. The task now is to make those distros work just as well.
