There is no Netflix streaming for Linux right now, and that sucks, but it's not because of Flash. Netflix doesn't use it.. it uses Silverlight for streaming. In concept there is a Linux version of Silverlight, Moonlight, but this still won't work with Netflix because there is DRM as well, and the DRM isn't part of Moonlight.
If you want Netflix to support Linux, the thing to do is to ask Netflix directly. They don't really have a customer service email, so you have to call them. The phone number can be found on your "account" page.
Good luck!
