1. What operating system is running on the PC you use to perform the majority of your system administration tasks?
2. Do you currently have the Adobe Flash plug-in loaded in the browser on the PC you use for the majority of your system administration tasks? If not, why not?
3. Are there policies at your workplace that prohibit the installation of the Adobe Flash plug-in (or plug-ins in general) for system administrators management PCs? (please elaborate)
Thank you for any insights you provide.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution2. I do have adobe installed
3. no limitation so far, who knows what will happen in the future...
still, must you use flash? it's all fun and games like youtube and other sillyness. but for system management programs, please...
what could you possibly need flash for? consider using other tech like javascript/ajax or even java.
that's just my opinion.

Re: Question from HP engineering team – Adobe Flash Plug-in
1) Centos 5 update 2
2) Yes, but I use flashblock because I also browse the reb with my admin system, and flashturbation using 100% of CPU is a problem.
3) No, but read answer 2. We do not like flash because it is a huge user of CPU resources. If you MUST use it, make sure your code is efficient.

Re: Question from HP engineering team – Adobe Flash Plug-in
2. It is installed, but I use noscript to block flash and other active content and whitelist the few things I want.
3. No policies at the current job, but elsewhere I've seen requirements that only approved software be installed.
My experience has been that Flash, Java, and most other fancy "active web" technologies are usually used to replace proper interface design, not to implement it - even in the Proliant SMH (which doesn't even work for me). Impressing nontechnical managers while making hands-on admins miserable won't help long-term sales.

Re: Question from HP engineering team – Adobe Flash Plug-in
GNU/Linux (Debian/Redhat/CentOS) x86_64 port.
>> Do you currently have the Adobe Flash plug-in loaded
It is generally not loaded as it is propreitary and non-free. Moreover it hampers other important tasks getting done.
>> Are there policies at your workplace that prohibit the installation
Yes, there are. It is "non-free" and this is the most important reason for non-deployment.
