You need the Linux version of Real Player. Much nicer and no nagging!
Built on the open source Helix Player.
Of course you would also need to change your operating system ;)

I agree with Brian, Real-player is a lot less 'free' in the
terms you're thinking than Flash is.
You don't get "upgrade to plus" announcements every five minutes
for starters in Flash!
However also agree with Christopher, Flash isn't anywhere near
as supported on other platforms as Adobe like to make out.

So? They still aren't free.
They don't cost anything at all to the consumer. That's
"free" is the prtacicable sense. RealPlayer is, if you mean
free-software, is much less free.
Anyway, Flash is now "free" in the sense you mean, isn't
it?
