Yeah. I'm using Flash in a 32-bit version of the Firefox 2.0 beta
running on Ubuntu's AMD 64 version. Works perfectly, though you'll
probably have to install Flash by hand (download & run install script)
rather than just installing it through Firefox.

There are a few other ways to do it, I believe, but this seems to be
the path of least resistance.

Best,
