Tried gnash but it did not work for me. It had many crashes, lockups etc. I am
running slackware 12.0, VESA video driver and konqueror as my browser. I will
not recommend it now for sure.
I Dont know about swfdec though. Never tried it myself.
And I don't think flash should be endorsed by FOSS. It is not an open format
AFAIK. I consider not having flash a feature.. ;) especially with metered
downloads..
