Well, Realplayer can be a problem child but has *usually* worked, Helix
OTOH, seems to suffer from an attempt to lock the user into whatever
protocol they support, M$ style embrace and extend I guess. I have NDI
whats in my rpm database for helix, but when I'd had enough, I ran a
locate and nuked anything that fell out. When I put FC6 on in place of
FC2 on this box, I never let helix anywhere near it. Once case of food
poisoning from that was enough.
