Hello all,

The Windows box I use for net access at home is getting very flaky, and
I am almost to the point of putting the drive in my Ubuntu system for a
one-time file transfer. Almost. Games I can largely live w/o or simply
play on other machines. One thing that I would seriously miss is
streaming video (NASA TV in particular -
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/). I have had enough trouble with
AV formats that I didn't even try the stuff in the menus, but I did do
some searching and quickly landed at http://www.real.com/linux. Anyone
tried it? Is it going to make me sorry I installed it? Any better
options? NASA offers windows media, real, flash and quick time. Is
there a clear lesser of evils?

Bill
