RealOne Alpha for Linux Released -- 8:11 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

RealNetworks has released a preview/alpha version of their RealOne (aka RealPlayer 9) streaming media player for libc6 i386 Linux. Check out the download directions on Linux Today. It just got done downloading for me. I'll let you know how it works.

UPDATE! OK, it's definitely an alpha release. It defaults to trying to install under your home directory which is probably just as well so it doesn't nuke your current RealPlayer installation. The installer segfaulted on me, but it seemed to get all the files installed because the program itself will run. The new UI is very slick (dare I say, very non-Linux in a good way) and will include support for different skins. Finally there are bookmarks available. I'll do some more testing and report back.
