UK again Pah!..
My wife uses a 701 eeeP as her every day machine with eeeUbuntu and Firefox and is struggling to find a flash player that works well with the BBC site and YouTube, has anyone else here had this problem and what do they use that works?

YouTube is very choppy and sound breaks up, we are on a 20mbit pipe so speed is not an issue.

Cheers
 
Sorted, and this may be of help to someone else one day:

Close Firefox.

At the terminal enter as below (you will be prompted for your password)

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Once installed I removed the existing swfdec module using the Synaptic package manager and restarted Firefox, the result was perfect streaming Flash.
