The RealPlayer 11 for Linux and its underlying fully open source Helix Player 11 are now both available. The RealPlayer 11 for Linux has many new features including support for playing Windows Media content on Linux. There is an integrated Playlist Editor and support for Perfect Play (Superbuffer). ALSA and surround sound playback are now supported also.

You can download the new RealPlayer for Linux from www.real.com

You can download Helix Player 11 (RPM, generic BIN installer and Source) from the *player.helixcommunity.org/2005/downloads/index.html

seems it is not free!???:?:

It's not for Linux, only Windows. I tried the Get Free Realplayer link and it download a 320kb dialer & installer for RealPlayer11GOLD.exe, which basically sucks. 10 is enough for me.

Comon buddy,they are not that lame to brand a EXE file as a Linux Player:p.

Real Player provides Linux player in association with Helix Playe

Since Microsoft would not do it, someone has to, but Real, that is like... ugh!

No no, I was talking about that particular link he gave, though later I did find it by adding /linux in the address.
