Linux video - but for whom?
,----[ Quote ]
| Builder AU, the official media organ for the Australian Linux
| conference, which is underway in Sydney, has released video clips
| of Linux creator Linus Torvalds talking about kernel development.
|
| But GNU/Linux users, the intended target audience, are finding it
| difficult to view the same.
|
| The videos apparently need to be viewed using version 8 of the
| proprietary Macromedia Flash player or above. Fact is there has
| never been a Flash 8 for GNU/Linux. After 7, Macromedia chose to
| release version 9 - on January 16, six months after it was released for
| Windows.

I was going to mention this a couple of days ago (Linus interview).
ZDNet/CNet and others encode Linux-related videos in ways that make them
inaccessible to Linux users.
