Well is there and/or a Unix one?

I ran across this solution to the problem of Flash's nagging you to upgrade:
http://weblogz.org/ehaugsjaa/how_to_uninstall_flash.htm

which involves adding this to your Hosts file:

quote:
0.0.0.0 download.macromedia.com activex.microsoft.com active.macromedia.com

I've added it to the FAQ:

How do I completely disable or uninstall the Flash player?

but was wondering if something similar might be available to people on another OS?

Thanks for your help
