Linux video - but for whom?

Builder AU, the official media organ for the Australian Linux conference, which is underway in Sydney, has released video clips of Linux creator Linus Torvalds talking about kernel development.

But GNU/Linux users, the intended target audience, are finding it difficult to view the same.

The videos apparently need to be viewed using version 8 of the proprietary Macromedia Flash player or above. Fact is there has never been a Flash 8 for GNU/Linux. After 7, Macromedia chose to release version 9 - on January 16, six months after it was released for Windows.
