== Flashplayer ==<br />
<br />
It is not exactly the right time to install Flashplayer as it is in the process to be decommissioned from all browsers to be replaced by '''HTML5'''. If you nevertheless want to inststall it, get it from [https://get2.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Adobe]. The libflashplayer.so library must be made executable and copied to the '''browser/plugins''' directory of firefox, and the usr directory content copied to /.<br />

== VirtualBox ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox] is a virtualization software by Sun, now Oracle. VirtualBox is incredibly simple to install and use. The VirtualBox virtual machines can be shared between Linux and Windows, and are very comfortable to use, thanks to smooth mouse moves and the possibility to resize windows (after installing appropriate drivers in the client virtual machines). [http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Downlad] from one of the All distributions link, give execution rights and run. That's it. The software is installed in /opt/VirtualBox. An icon Oracle VM VirtualBox is created on the System menu of KDE.<br />
<br />
<u>Note</u>: VirtualBox is incompatible with Xen.<br />
