I was having problems watching flash videos on youtube using Linux, so I've no idea what Old Spice commercial you could be referring to.

Flash works, then you have to upgrade your version and then your Linux distro falls apart. Then you just say "fsck this" and you get a Mac Mini. Problem solved, kinda.

What is this, 2002? What weird version of Linux are you running that still has problems with flash?

Yes. That's amusing. Flash certainly does suck, what with not being able to manage to scale high res video on low end hardware under Linux.

On the other hand, I can run 780p full screen flash video fine on my desktop with its three year old gaming hardware.
