In CentOS and Linux land, what reliable alternatives do we have to realnetworks real producer plus and helix server for streaming audio and video ???

For streaming, I wouldn't waste any time at all on Helix server. Apple's Darwin Streaming Server is a much better choice. It is free and offers most of the functionality of Quicktime Streaming Server. It runs just fine on CentOS 4/5. For encoding, ffmpeg works well. For cutting up video there are a few options. The one with the best feature set is Cinelerra. If you've got access to a Windows box (or emulation of one), Virtualdub is also a good/cheap/functional editor.
