Installation was easy as usual (just copy the .so file into your /home/username/.mozilla folder), but to be honest, I was still expecting some heavy bugs since it was an alpha version.  However, I was pleased to see that Flash videos were now running pretty smoothly.  No more of the persistent choppiness that was commonplace in the Linux Flash plugins of old.

The one major bug I did notice is that it doesn't handle more than one Flash video on a page very well (think: your video + annoying Flash advertisement in the sidebar).  I don't think this was Compiz or my system itself slowing me down ... pretty sure it was the plugin.  But, who the hell knows with Linux sometimes.   Either way, I'm glad they're making some effort.  Maybe in my lifetime I'll be lucky enough to see a Beta ...
