Some flash videos on the internet could not be read by my EEE PC 701 because they require a Flash 10 reader, and Flash 9 is installed on the PC by the manufacturer.
There is a problem, described in this forum post. The problem is that Flash 10 requires a newer version of the glibc library than the one included in the Xandros operating system on the EEE PC. However, according to the post above, there is a beta version of Flash 10 that uses the old version of glibc and will work, namely
flashplayer10_install_linux_081108.tar.gz from
http://download.macromedia.com
The installation procedure is described here.
tar -xvzf flashplayer10_install_linux_081108.tar.gz
Type sudo bash (still in terminal) and the prompt will change so you know you are now a super userthen type
cd install_flash_player_10_linux
Lastly type
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Close the terminal, start FF and type about:plugins in the address bar and you should now see Flash 10
