Thanks a lot, that's what I was thinking.

And no, I did not investigate any further. I am not the one who will
complains not to have the last version of any product, but some of my
customers asked me to check this or this website, and I cannot even
access it, as I dont have Flash 8 players ... I can use it as an
argument again using non open plugin on a website... but they just don't
want to hear that ;-)

I don't use flash myself on websites I manage, but I was just curious to
know why Linux was only in the 7 version.

Thanks for your answer, and again, it was not to criticize any. I am
sure somebody would just on me telling, "What dont you do it by
yourself ?". The Fedora team is doing a fantastic job, and I will not
complain if I miss some proprietary plugin to be updated.

May the Source be with you !
