Something is still not working. Here's what I get:

[root at sangam simon]# rpm -ivh 
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

Any idea what is wrong?

PS: As I try out Fedora after having used Ubuntu for over three years, 
there is one thing I appreciated about Ubuntu: The centralisation of 
repositories. I think it happened about twice that I had to add 
repositories to the standard ones. On my computer, I just need Flash, 
mp3 and video-codecs. On Ubuntu that takes now about three clicks and 
they are installed. I know, this is also a question of philosophy and a 
legal considerations, but still, ... For the rest, Fedora works quite a 
bit better on my computer than Ubuntu.
