No press release specifically mentioning the 64-bit Linux support, but it's out!

You can download the yum repo/apt repo files as well as the rpm and tar.gz files from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Edit: or on the page linked above, click the grey almost-hidden download button on the right.

With respect to Mr Jobs, it's nice to finally see a story up that isn't about him.

Does that include the fancy Unreal Engine stuff, too?

No. flash 11 won't have GPU acceleration on linux. Adobe said there were too many driver issues.

In other words, "How to hide a download button". Talk about the disconnect between graphic design and web design.

When will it be stable for OS X?

I'm not joking.
