How do list members who have tried both versions lately see it,
especially any of you who have already downloaded the beta of Gutsy?

I use Gutsy-64 beta from tribe-3 up to now.
- Flash (youtube vidz) are not viewable

There's another thread (quoted below) that claims that nspluginviewer
allows flash 32 to work on 64 bit. In fact the poster claimed it
installed automatically in gutsy. Did you try it?

As I understand it, shock and flash work fine on Linux32, but not on
Linux64, or at least not without getting worked.

Flash in gutsy works on both ia32 and amd64 architectures now. This is
handled by the plugin finger that's been newly developed. On amd64, it
installs the plugin wrapper and the regular flash for ia32.

I haven't ever known of a shockwave plugin for Linux. Got a link I can
test?

I was under the impression that shockwave wasn't available for Linux.
However, I am currently running Gutsy Gibbon on my main workstation
and
websites with shockwave seem to work.

What's the story behind shockwave and Linux?
