Sure, you can serve rich content from UNIX platforms too. A lot of the

specifics depend on which web server they're using on that new OS.


The Flash information doesn't change much... the change would be in how

your ISP adds to that particular server's MIME types. I think the technotes

include examples for some UNIX-based servers, but the core info should be

applicable to all.


Rephrased, your ISP can add the MIME info... all you have to do is give him

the standard Flash identifiers, or have them copy over the identifiers from

their previous servers.
