This is not  RHEL issue, nor is centos5 a magic bullet that cures user
error. You have only yourself to blame for this. Flash works just fine
on centos5 x86, and I have witnessed it working just fine on x86_64 as
well, though I do not have such hardware myself.

If you want someone to blame for flash not supporting x86_64, then
bitch to adobe. If you want someone to blame for it not working on
your system, find a mirror.

Yes it is, quite. The procedure is no different on centos5 than it was
on centos4. The browser is the same, the file locations are the same.
Nothing is drastically different in operation between centos4 and
centos5 so far as the browser goes. The only explanation here is user
error, and failure to understand where your browser puts things, and
where it expects things to be.
