So, I'm nearly two months behind with this news, but there's a Flash10 preview available for 64-bit flavors of Linux:

Took some time, but I'm able to view flash videos (with sound!) on my usual flash-enabled sites (youtube, speedtest.net, etc.).
 
The gpu based video acceleration is very nice. I use to have frame drops and video tearing on youtube SD videos that got worse depending on the system load with Flash 9 32-bit. Now HD video is very fast and clean with little effect from system load.
