I think there is more chance of a blizzard in Honolulu in July than there is for Adobe to properly support Linux. Our best hope is that gnash development continues and improves.

Re: MATE Desktop Environment packages

Sorry, I wasn't clear about what I was saying. I am running the same architecture as Zachary and I am NOT seeing the same problems. You're right about the keyboard applet. I edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d//etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to allow for US and Israeli keyboards and the applet appeared. I always do...

I don't see one for the panel either. You can change keyboard layout from the menu: System -> Administration -> Keyboard

Re: Kernel suggstions for Salix OS

The problem with the Broadcom chipset isn't the kernel and a newer kernel won't fix it. When SalixOS 13.37 was released the Broadcom firmware was proprietary and their license made it impossible for the SalixOS devs to package it.
