That's a bad idea. Unpatched critical vulnerabilities in Flash (along with Java) is one of the most likely routes of infection of your machine and not updating it is asking for trouble.
In general yes, but afaik flash player 10.3 is still actively patched and supported by Adobe.

I think you missed the point. It won't ever get updated if he's excluded it in yum.conf irrespective of whether it's actively maintained upstream or not.
OK. Thanks for all the input about this. I need to bear the security aspect in mind. Possibly checking with Smart Package Manager for any further security patches for the 10.3 version.
Does anybody have the latest flash plugin 11.2. working on Centos 5.7 32 bit please?
Also I see that the Adobe flash plugin is no longer being developed for Linux, and 11.2 is only available for the next 5 years with security patches added.
Is there not a free alternative to Adobe's flash plugin please?
Kind Regards,
Keith
