Ya, I understand that and wish that Adobe wasn't a pain in the ass and
that site like pbs.org wouldn't rely so heavily on flash (I've written
to their "tech team"). I do have a machine running fedora, but I just
got a hand-me-down and want to get netbsd on it.

According to http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-linux.html , I
should be able to get what I want.

The problem that I'm having is way before I get to the linux/flash stuff.
