It’s pretty easy to find a list of “The Top 10 Dreamcast Games” or some similar ranking, but most of them were written back when the console was still on the retail scene and almost all of them only compare the games against other Dreamcast games.

So you want to learn Linux? The best way, the only really good way, is to get a distribution, load it on a computer and give it a try. Any of the ones I mentioned recently at DesktopLinux.com in “What’s the best Linux for beginners?” will do fine.
Adobe Flash Player 9.0 Linux
Posted by Biffster in Debian/Linux, Firefox, Web on October 22nd, 2006
It took friggin’ long enough, but Adobe has finally released a Linux beta of their Flash Player 9.0:
Adobe has (partly) delivered on its promise of supporting Linux by releasing the latest version of Flash player (ver 9.0) for Linux along side that for Windows and Mac OSX platform. The version that is released is still in the beta stage. Neverthless, this is a step in the right direction atleast for Adobe and the multimedia loving Linux users as for the former, it is a good PR exercise and for the latter, it is better access to flash based websites.
Even though this is a beta release, I highly recommend all Linux Flash users upgrade immediately. The last “stable” Flash player from Macromedia – 7.x – sucks ass. 9.0 beta is much more stable than that supposed stable release.
