I run CentOS at home, not just at work... Anyway, I've got a friend in
Chicago who recently mentioned that they'd like to do videocalling. Now,
I've heard of skype, but a quick google says there's some problems on
Linux. I also see ekiga, and aMSN.
Anyone here run such a beast, and have any recommendations or comments?
Obviously, must work on CentOS, not Ubuntu, or Fedora, or
TheLatestCoolestDistroThisMonth....

Shouldn't be anyway. You can install the beta. The problem is that it's only available in i386 so if you have an x86_64, you have to install various dependencies. However, haven't had any issues with it, aside from that of needing the 386 libraries. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
