[citation][nom]coder543[/nom]That was not the suggestion. I was stating that your host operating system should be 11.10 and that 10.04 would be in a virtual machine, not 2 instances and a host. But, you should download the full Google Chrome.. it should have a flash player built into it, so hopefully that would work. (Chromium is not the same)[/citation]

Nope chrome for linux doesn't come with flash. We have to install manually. Secondly we can't install x86 flash on it. It has to be a x64 version and it's still in beta from many years. Adobe doesn't produce debian so process is much complicated for Ubuntu.
The software I run is a both cpu and gpu intensive so can't run it in VM either.
 
[citation][nom]Antilycus[/nom]And to the comment above me, there is NO air for tempature to matter in a hard drive. They are VACUUM sealed so even if it gets hot or cold, the platters and heads could care less[/citation]
Hard drives are not vacuum sealed because they rely on air pressure for the heads to maintain a proper height when the platter is rotating. without if the heads would crash on the platter, damaging it and loosing data.

Even though adobe doesn't provide deb packages there are PPA's like SevenMachines that have the latest version of flash 11, including the 64 bit version of the player that isn't beta anymore.

The 64bit version of Chrome is the one that doesn't come with a built in flash (the 32-bit Chrome for Linux does come with flash built in). That's because there was no final stable version of 64bit flash for 64bit Ubuntu - until today! 64bit Chrome should soon begin shipping with 64bit flash included.

As for installing flash on your 64bit Ubuntu, that should no longer be a problem as of today. About an hour ago, I found flash updates waiting in my 32bit Ubuntu 11.04 and my 64bit 10.04 (I have both OS versions installed on the same machine in dual boot configuration and I had previously used Ubuntu's Software Center to install 32bit flash in both the 32bit OS and 64bit OS). The good news is that the flash update for 64bit Ubuntu 10.04 automatically updated the flash from version 10.3 (32bit) to version 11.01 (64bit). So if you're using a 64bit version of Ubuntu, you'll get the 64bit version of flash installed by default once you install flash from the Software Center from now on.
