I've been running Realserver 6 and 7 on RedHat and Debian, and no problems.
I'm gonna install Realserver 8 on Debian (potato) this week. Dont think there
will be any problem but i haven't read anything about it..

I'd use ipchains and block all ports except those needed for streaming.
Maybe open admin-port for your own ip-address if you want to be able to
admin it thru webinterface.
I think you need udp/tcp 7070/8080 open for streaming. If you dont find
it on www.real.com i can check it up for you.
