| Hi Chad,
|
| Thank you for contacting Customer Service at Macromedia, now part of
| Adobe Systems.
|
| I understand your feedback on the compatibility of Flash Player on BSD.
|
| Please note that Flash Player is not supported in FreeBSD, thus it not
| mentioned on the End User License Agreement that Flash Player can be
| downloaded and installed on the operating system. It is not that the
| web player is prohibited in FreeBSD, but the operating system itself
| is not compatible with Player.
|
| Please note that it is your option whether to install Flash Player on
| your FreeBSD; however, please note that we cannot provide you with any
| technical support, warranties or remedies for the software, although
| it is clearly stated on the End User License Agreement, the only
| authorized operating systems where you may download and install Flash
| Player.
|
| To view the System Requirements of Flash Player, you may go to:

| In connection with this, if you would like to make suggestions or
| comments on how we can improve future versions of our software, or to
| report possible "bugs" in our current versions, please visit:

| Your comments, suggestions, and ideas for improvements are very
| important to us. We appreciate you taking the time to send us this
