Is there anyone doing streaming film and TV with Flash or something else that works on Linux?

Failing that, is there anyway to download a film for £4-6 say, as just an AVI file or something, legally?

The server here is Windows small business whatever it is and Exchange isn't set up, but I've put CentOS on it in a VM, and I'd like to do everything using open standards and open source where possible.

I've been looking at SOGO — http://www.sogo.nu/english.html
And these phones — http://www.avaya.com/uk/product/ip-office

What are my chances of getting all this stuff working together? What other suggestions have people got a for a small office and communications?
