Support for alternate OS
Main problem with FreeBSD is total lack of support/respect from Linux oriented companies- looks like they deliberately ignore request from BSD communities and spread FUD about BSD sudden death (linux.com and slashdot.org owner OSTG is obvious example). BSD-s are rapidly developed for desktop needs and projects like PC-BSD and DesktopBSD are showing that Linux is not only alternative to Microsoft Windows. Instead of ignoring Flash support requests from FreeBSD users, Adobe should make it at least compatible with Linux Compatibility Layer that is used in FreeBSD for running various Linux apps. Current LCL is based on Fedora Core 4 code and should meet desktop users needs. Of course I'd prefer native FreeBSD Flash, but if LCL is stable enough and won't crash on every complex flash site then go for it.

P.S. PC-BSD operating system is downloaded more than 150.000 copies, starting from version 1.0 and community is growing every day.
