Well, at least there's iced-tea now, and it's finally reasonably working 
on amd64, tho it's way complicated to build, so Gentoo has a binary build 
of it instead of the usual from-sources.  I've nothing against binary 
builds tho I prefer sources, as long as their freedomware, which iced-tea 
is, now.  I should really try gnash and/or swfdec again one of these 
days...

(My inet connection is up and down today, not nice with voip!  I just got 
a new DOCSIS 3 cable modem, the new Motorola sb6120, but unfortunately, 
unlike earlier Motorolas, it doesn't have a useful diagnostics interface 
at http://192.168.100.1... or the cableco hasn't enabled it.  All I get 
is the basic step-by-step connection thing, which the LEDs on the front 
basically give the same info, not even the usual downstream power and SNR 
and upstream power readings, that would tell me what my signal levels 
are.  But they were borderline on the old modem.  I think I'll have to 
have a tech out one of these days.  But I might be moving soon to, so I 
don't know...)
