I watched the Helix announcement today and it really did seem like something is going on. The Developers sight (I guess) is: http://www.helixcommunity.org/ I'm a user not an engineer.
The CEO was really high on the helix server running on Linux. He actually said he can get 400% greater performance in streaming MS .asf Streams through the new Helix Universal server running on Linux. He was practically giddy. He also speculated that a Linux version of the Helix player would be available within 90 days. Again, it should be able to play virtually every major multimedia stream including Microsoft.

Where does one obtain this version, anyways? I've struggled with Real's web page and have only been able to determine that the 5.x version (for free or for $$) is available for any of the Unices that I run. Incidently, I was trying to get this 5.x version running on a RedHat 7.3 box the other day and I didn't have a lot of luck. I think that this might have been a shared library problem, but I didn't have time to investigate. Thanks, --kevin -- Kevin D. Clark / Cetacean Networks / Portsmouth, N.H.
