[tlug] Straming audio with Linux.

[Alessandro Mantelli【HOBIBOX】 <alex@example.com>]

Hello, i would like to build up a streaming server with Linux.
As I never did it before, I've looked for some tips on Internet
and it seems that there are 3 alternatives:
Shoutcast type (Icecast etc.)
Real media server
Quicktime media server

Both Real media and quick time need the respective plugin or software,
but what about Icecast?
I would like the streaming audio be accessible by Windows media player too.
In this case is Windows server the only alternative?

I need also to have access restriction through certificate installation,
did anyone ever deal with it?

Regards

Alex
