I've cc'd Kris from the PC-BSD project as I'm not sure he's subscribed  
to the list. I'm also a big fan of Opera and it's working well with  
Flash on the last PC-BSD alpha with no work on my part. Kris, did you  
have to add any secret sauce to get Flash working so well with  
Firefox, Konqueror, and Opera in the last alpha?

FYI, we're working closely with Adobe to get native Flash on FreeBSD.  
I expect we'll have a solution at some point this year.
