"Flash Player 7 for Linux is available for download from Macromedia and will be included in Linux distributions from major providers such a Novell, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems and Turbolinux. Other enhancements in version 7 include performance tweaks that allow Flash applications to load significantly faster and support for uniform Web development using cascading style sheets.

Macromedia said its Flash Player is installed on 98 percent of Internet-connected desktops as well as a growing number of handheld devices. Flash provides a graphical user interface that can be embedded within Web sites and used to link with databases. When used properly, it can make online shopping sites quicker and easier to use than sites with plain HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) interfaces."

Cool. If you're a Linux user, download the update and tell us what you think. :)
