At last some good news from Adobe on Flash 9 for Linux (I hope). he first public beta for the Adobe Flash Player 9 has been released for Linux. This current Linux build is version 9.0.21.55 and lacks support for the full-screen mode in the web player. It is only the 32 bit version and couldn’t find any info on it’s 64 bit version.
Adobe Labs is currently featuring prerelease versions of the Flash Player 9 Update software. This release includes a new feature to enable full screen mode in the web player, bug fixes and support for additional operating systems — specifically Microsoft® Windows™ Vista™ and Linux.

This software is being made available for developers and consumers to test their content to ensure existing Flash content plays back correctly and that there are no compatibility issues.* The purpose of this beta is to gather your feedback so that Adobe can verify that:

* The new Flash Player is compatible with previously authored Flash content.
* Developers have an opportunity to test their content and applications prior to the product release to help identify bugs on a variety of machines and configurations.

I gotta run for work so don’t have time to try it out. Let us know about your experience with new 9 update. After so much troubles for Linux users do you consider this a big milestone for Flash?
