ok I'm pretty new to the streaming thing. I've asked on other forums and have been told flash is the way to go.
What I want to do is upload videos to a linux server and have them playing live/in real time as oposed to from the begining each time the page is refreshed. I think the outcome I'm after is setting up an internet tv (or something similar to iptv)
website where the media is stream live.

    I'm a little confused here... do you want to upload a pre-recorded video file, or have a live broadcast (like from a webcam?)

    If it's live broadcast, you'll want to use FMS.

    If it's a prerecroded video, FMS might be a bit of expensive overkill. You could just as easily use PHP to begin playing the video from a given byte (see http://flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/11/2/Streaming-flv-video-via-PHP-take-two )
