Flash Player 9 Beta 2 for Linux -- 8:55 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Adobe has released a second beta version of Flash Player 9 for Linux. This release addresses some of the audio-related problems and crashes from the first beta. You can also check out the release notes for all the changes. I've managed to play a couple of videos on ESPN Motion without it locking up on me. Right there, that's a big improvement over beta 1. I'll keep testing.

Update! I played the first period of a Red Wings' game on Google Video while doing a bunch of other stuff. Everything worked great. In general it ate up only 36% of my Athlon XP 1800+ to play the video while downloading the content at about 2Mbps. Impressive.
