There is a free streaming solutions when it comes to linux that is widely
accepted. Helix as Sean was saying has a large licensing cost. There is
always the alternative of using Darwin which is free and will stream vod and
live content. Flash Communication server is another option, but that is also
a heavy hit when it comes to licensing. FYI Helix is not supported on new
generations of Linux yet you should be safe running it on 2.4.21-4.EL. FCS
1.5 is also only supported to RHEL 3 currently I believe. If your thinking
of streaming for a business and need a fast turn around it might be wiser
for you to look at CDN.

would say it depends very much on how much you've to spend.
Real is probably one of the best I have used, however, it comes with the
huge downside of license costs.
The older real server, now replaced by Helix Universal server streams
about any format (real, wm, flash (upto 4), and quicktime), and works
very well (hell of a lot nicer/better than WM in my experience).
Downside is license costs are quite high, so if it's company/corporate
venture, I'd suggest Real most defintely.

Sean
