    Ok, so Flash going to be obsolete soon but in the meantime any
    OS has to have a GUI install Linux version of Flash Player that can be installed easily
    by Linux newbies. The terminal copy/paste tutorial on your 'elementaryOS how to' site
    does not work- it connects to Adobe but 404s-file not found.
    I have also tried 2 versions offered on the Adobe site but the installation 'readme
    talks about extracting to 'a suitable locaton'/root/sudo etc ie assumes that the user is
    Linux knowledgeable. (we could use terminal entries but instructions have to be specific, not
    general ) Also tried via Software Center but no go.

    I am going to format this drive and try another OS if I cannot get Flash to work.
    1st time in my life I have ever paid/donated for an OS and I cant get it
    to work ! I dont think ElementaryOS is ready for the public.

    Thanks
