If you install a linux application then linux_base-fc4 will be
installed as a dependency. This is the most stable version since it's
intended to work with 2.4 kernel emulation.  If you want to try one of
the later fedora[-core] ports, which use 2.6 kernel emulation, you need
to read UPDATING.

I'm not sure how well Flash 9 actually works under 2.6 kernel
emulation, but it doesn't work well under 2.4. Flash 7 work under
either.
