I have recently installed Ubuntu Linux stable version 9.10. I am was surfing the web and found that I forgot to install Adobe Flash player. I looked on the Adobe site and found several extensions on the files for Linux. Which extension do I need to install Flash on Ubuntu?
I am also wondering if anyone could explain to me how to install it? I would be very thankful.
Note: The extensions were YUM, .tar.gz, .rpm, and .deb.
I am a novice to Linux.

TO INSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER ON UBUNTU
Go to a webpage that has Flash content
For example
http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/enable_compizfusion_in_ubuntu_feisty/
In the top right hand corner you will be prompted to install the Flash plugin.
Click on that and there will be several options. Select the Adobe option then enter your password and the installer will take care of the rest.
Once Flash Player is installed restart Firefox

ubuntu — use .deb
just double click it .. and the rest is common sense
open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
hit y, enter, and you are done
that will take care of flash, java, and mscorefonts.
