FLASH PLAYER OR EQUIVALENT

[Yves Pennec]

I finally found my way through Synaptic.

Thanks to all who replied, it was really helpful.
Now I'd like to use my wifi n dongle (EMTEK EKCOWI300) but could not find a
clue on where to find a driver, for the time being, I have bought a 5m  LAN
cable, but aesthically speaking it is no what I want.
