[K12OSN] flash-plugin crashing after update

[Jim Kinney]

Repos I've found consistent with CentOS are EPEL and rpmfusion. I only use
rpmforge as src.rpm location for oddball stuff I rebuild. Adobe has a repo
for flash that works well.

Flash is a heavy resource hog in a TC environment.  Look at doing network
bandwidth throttling to youtube to enforce practical limits.
