Which version of Flash 64-bit?  10.0 R45 Alpha, the latest?

That version and the 32-bit one both crashed Firefox 3.0.something (32-bit and 64-bit versions, respectively) in CentOS 5.4 64-bit running in VirtualBox (not the OSE one) on my Fedora 12 system.  (I installed Cent just to have a look.)  However, the 64-bit version immediately prior to it (don't have the exact number handy), which is still installed on Fedora 9 64-bit that I upgrade to 12 from last November, and keep as a back up, still works fine.  (Well, it works with a few hiccups every-once-in-a-while.)  Haven't had time to see if the old one will work on CentOS or not.

With the 64-bit Flash series, I always keep the previous version around when installing the new one, just in case.

I wonder how long Adobe is going to putz around before releasing a Beta or Final version for us 64-bit Linux users?  I found the wrapped 32-bit Final version to be more unstable than the 64-bit Alpha one.
