Install Flash 64bit in Linux

Its still in alpha stage but works very well.
So i am going to write a simple howto here. As this tutorial will cover openSUSE distro. But the basic steps are the same for other distros also.

openSUSE:
1. Remove all installed flash related packages in YaST software management.
2. Download the file from here:
Adobe Labs Site
3. Extract the plugin, and place a copy of it in /usr/lib64/browser-plugins
Command:
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/


Remember to mention the path to plugin, where it is extracted.
4. Restart Firefox. Check that Firefox sees the plugin by looking in the Add-ons.

And that's it.
