Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin

I installed adobe-flashplugin with Jaunty, thinking that it was the "official" and therefore best flash playback. However, it caused flash playback to be consistently jittery. Every 10-15 seconds, the video playback would freeze (as if a buffer was empty) but the audio would continue. After 0.5 seconds or so the video would start playing again.

I googled around for information on this, and found a ubuntuforums posting recommending the installation of flashplugin-nonfree. I apt-get installed it in the command line, thinking that the debs would be mutually exclusive, and adobe-flashplugin would be removed, but that wasn't the case. Both are now installed. And, now, with both installed, flash playback is smooth and jitter free.
