Play Flash executables on Karmic Koala



So, I have this presentations that were created, or compiled, as Flash executables, and of course there wasn't a way of playing that on Linux, even tho it was a Flash file in the end.

After Googling this whole thing for a couple of minutes, found a couple of links about it, but, in the end, at least on my case, and given the Flash files I had, it was rather simple to make them play flawlessly on Linux.
All I had to do is to install Wine, and that's it, a:

sudo aptitude install wine

solved everything, and the files played just perfect (audio, video, keyboard shortcuts, etc, etc.). To play the file:

wine /path/to/file/flash.exe ENTER

Even installing Wine it was a piece of cake, not a problem like the ones mentioned on the last link posted below.
