Ed,
If flash is bothering you, its quite easy to just install the linux
version of firefox on FreeBSD.
Sabayon linux is a multimedia powerhouse. Definately needs some good
spec hardware to run even after most of the xgl services have been
disabled. The sabayon image is around 4.2GB which gives you an
indication.

FreeBSD 2.2 IIRC and have no idea which version would be the most
versatile and has an installer that is basically brain dead simple
with most all drivers. I suspect that I am asking the impossible
but
you never know.
Maybe PC-BSD or Sabayon Linux. Sabayon is based on gentoo and
contains
lots of proprietory drivers built in. So, if you have no problem
with that maybe
you could look at Sabayon Linux too.
I've never heard of Sabayon but will definitely give it a shot on
my laptop first and take a good look at the licensing.
I really like the idea of PC-BSD but the Flash thing, holds me back
a bit.
