Ubuntu 8.04 server and desktop will have long-term support. FWIW, I'm 
using Firefox+Ndiswrapper+Flash and have not had Flash cause Firefox to 
crash once. In all past releases Flash crashed and brought down Firefox 
several times a day. Flash still crashes, but now that I'm using 64-bit 
it doesn't take Firefox down with it.
