I can get firefox and helix/real player to work very nice on my debian latop,
however, on my debian desktop box (with same browser and real version) i can
only watch feeds 50% of the time, 

im using the firefox from unstable btw. and real from thier website, if you
have trouble with real not starting properly, then deleate the showkwave and
flash plugins from its installed directory, it helps lots
