Re: Linux newbie with lots of assistance needed
Since you have a 64bit debian you will have to get the 64bit beta version of flash. Go download flash from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

Extract the contents of the files in your "HOME-DIRECTORY>.mozilla>plugins" directory. If it works it enjoy if it doesn't better luck next time since its a beta version of flash player.

As for the sound...not sure about debian but in ubuntu i just had to enable ubuntu restricted-backports and update alsa-sound and it gave me working sound and microphone on my netbook!

I'd suggest messing around with your sound configs

buddy if you installed ubuntu, you already have mozilla firefox. As a matter of fact almost all major linux distributions ship with mozilla firefox pre installed. And i am not sure what you mean by my ubuntu source list...

The standard ubuntu repository should be good enough. I don't see any reason for funky source lists
