Flash 9 beta Ubuntu

Finally ... Flash 9 comes to Linux and I can't wait to try this out on my Dapper Drake tonight. Not that this has been a bottleneck of any sort but I've been found wanting while showing off my ubuntu laptop to my windows savvy friends primarily because of flash websites.
Found a way to install this on dapper using apt-get here: http://www.debianadmin.com/install-flash-player-9-beta-in-ubuntu.html
However, I guess i may go the manual way to get this done for now until the final release happens. Also I plan to reinstall Ubuntu Edgy on Oct 26 on release. So maybe I'll wait till then to go full fledged.
Check out the release announcement on Mike's blog - http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2006/10/beta_is_live.html
