Yahoo, MSN, AIM are replaced by GAIM. MS Office has been replaced by OpenOffice. GIMP replces photoshop. But what about Macromedia Flash? Is there a Linux replacement for that?...

    In short, no.
    It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

    Macromedia provides standard linux Flash support on their website. The installation is very easy. Works well for me .

    Your probably thinking about the "Flash Player" plugin. However, Macromedia does not make a Macromedia Flash program for Linux. But there is a program that will allow you to use it. Its called CrossOver.

    http://www.codeweavers.com/

    It runs many other Window applications as well. Unfortunately, you have to buy it...but who usually buys software these days?

    Well codeweavers is just a modified version of Wine and therefore not a "replacement". Although it works well...

    Try Flash 4 Linux (open source)
