[K12OSN] "realPlayer 10 for Linux is here"

[Petre Scheie]

FWIW, on my K12LTSP 4.2.1 server I recently clicked on a Real video file on some 
website, and it brought up Helix, but it wouldn't play the file at all.  So, I installed 
RealPlayer 10 via the 'Get RealPlayer' script in the Install Additional Software folder, 
and then was able to play the video file, complete with sound.  However, this was on the 
server.  On the clients, the video part of RealPlayer 10 works, but I've not been able 
to get sound working so far, even though sound is working for other applications.
