I was unable to get gnash to work with the BBC iplayer. I think if 
someone really wants to view something that requires flash, and they 
cannot find any other way to do it, then installing adobe flash is 
reasonable. But it doesn't follow from that, that they should abandon 
all other free software. That's just my pragmatic opinion.

Incidentally I have installed Icecat on Open SUSE, which won't make any 
sense to you, and it doesn't make any sense to me either, but I am quite 
happy doing things which don't make sense. :)
