I don't like RealNetworks, and I'd prefer to avoid touching any of their products if possible. They're best known now for their crappy RealOne Player on Windows that integrates the latest and greatest ad- and spyware technology. And didn't you hear about the three new vulnerabilities discovered in RealPlayer?

hi all,
a n00b here...
have there been any updates for realplayer8 for linux (RH 9.0)....can't seem to find at places like freshrpms.net

on the real networks updates page, one of the exploit seems to mention "all platforms"...
excuse me if I understood it wrong that systems running for eg., would need an update...

Peace
