I wonder if we can get the shockwave player working with the linux version of linux via some kind of wine layer instead of installing firefox for windows.

I admit, I cruise new blog posts just to see what people are writing about Wine.
Today I saw one ( http://www.ubuntux.org/shockwave-player-ubuntu-linux ) that says "I have discovered a way to get Shockwave working under Linux. I am using Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake), Wine 0.99.22, Firefox 1.5.0.7, and Shockwave 10.1.4.020.
- Install Wine. ... Wine will automatically associate .exe files
with itself. More information on Wine is available at http://www.winehq.com . 2. Download the Windows version of Firefox and install. Wine will ensure the installer functions correctly. 3. Install the Windows version of Shockwave for Mozilla. I downloaded and installed it manually (slim install).
After these steps, I had a working Shockwave player from within Firefox. "
Now that's the kind of user story I like to see!
