All of the update repositories are enabled except for pre-release. I really don't want to do any beta testing that I can avoid.

I'm not sure what you mean by "crazy", and I don't want to say anything about the complexity of your work. I'm even willing to go somewhat out of my way to answer any questions about the problems that I'm able to understand.

However, fundamentally I'm just a diner who'd like to eat a tasty meal cooked Ubuntu-style. Lots of us out here, but we have no ambitions to be master chefs, and if the Ubuntu 'restaurant' is too much hassle, we'll go back to Windows, even if we're sick and tired of the Microsoft gruel. Actually, I don't even like the Flash stuff. I'm a content guy and I find Flash too light and unfilling, but it's heavily used. At least Adobe seems to be making a sincere effort to support LInux (in strong contrast to Microsoft's efforts to sabotage or destroy anything they don't own).

Because of my love of freedom translated into a dislike for Microsoft, I'm willing to go the extra mile to try to stay with Ubuntu, but I've already been through a number of experiences of difficulties. I suspect that many other wannabe users of Ubuntu fell (back to Windows) at each of those hurdles... This Flash hurdle is one that I've been trying to get over for a long time.
