In recent years, Linux has grown in popularity and has been expanded to run on Apple PowerPC-based machines. Macromedia does not currently support the growing number of Linux users on PowerPC systems, which is evident by Macromedia's lack of a Linux/PPC version of the Flash Player.

With the growing popularity of Flash on the Internet, it has become a necessity to have the Flash Player installed. Many sites have adopted Flash for such things as product demos, web-based games, and comedic movies. These things have become a vital part of the Internet, and without them, the full experience can never be met. Without the inclusion of the Flash Player for Linux/PPC, many of us are unable to benefit from the full experience of certain web sites, while Flash-only sites are rendered useless.

One of the largest complaints about Linux/PPC from users is the lack of the Flash Player, and many potential users aren't willing to make the switch until the Flash Player is available for Linux/PPC.

We the undersigned, urge you to consider releasing a Linux/PPC version of the Macromedia Flash Player, for the sake of existing and future Linux/PPC users.

    • It is very important to have, and its not like you need to support it and spend on it, we are a very tech saavy group that can fix most problems without help.

    • It only makes sense to an excellent platform independent tool like Flash.

    • The linux player needs to be debugged at the very least. I build applications in a Linux environment and have had to move to windows in order to bypass some serious player issues.... MM should support the linux player or make the player SDK more readily available so we can debug and rebuild it ourselves.
