  This is the official mirror system of Macromedia Linux packages.  
  With permission from Macromedia we take their software and package
  it in Linux friendly ways (RPM, DEB, ebuild).  These packages are
  made available for manual download, apt-get, urpmi, or emerge.

  Macromedia's EULA forbids repackaging and/or redistribution of
  their software so please do not mirror this repository.
  Please point your apt-get or urpmi to one of these official
  mirrors of this site, as they will be permanent.

  These files are served from official mirrors in order for us to
  collect download statistics.  Each distribution has a different
  file to download, so this will allow us to make neat graphs
  showing relative numbers of the different Linux distributions.

neato.

TheQuirk:
Silly if you ask me. What's so hard about moving a couple of files?

Calum:
you'd be surprised how daunting it is for newbies to have to do install stuff from non-rpm originals. No matter how easy it is it's the psychological thing.

In my opinion shifting the two files teaches people how easy non-rpm stuff can be. If you are like me though, you need to put the files in the right locations for three or four different browsers. no sweat, but if you are a newbie, you might not know where to look for those plugin directories for each browser.

SAJChurchey:
Are other recent Macromedia apps like Dreamweaver, Fireworks, etc, also available for download like this?
