I voted this down because
I voted this down because Adobe AIR is proprietary software. All proprietary software (which includes Adobe AIR) fails to respect the users' freedom.

fs as in "Free Software"
I don't blame falko that he likes the software, but the fs in
fsdaily stands for "Free Software". How to install proprietary
software is not what I want to see here.

My opinions
While Adobe AIR is proprietary, Ubuntu is not. Thus I think this story is related to free software. Just as a how to on installing Firefox or OOo on Windows would be.
And, while I did not vote this down, I will also not support it by voting it up. Let it go to the archives with our comments on it so that anyone who finds it will see what we have said.

Hmm..
I respect your opinion.
However, I still to don't support it.
AIR, is still proprietary software after all.
So, I think an article that talks about alternatives to
proprietary software would probably make more sense here.
