fire 0 Posted February 21, 2004 Hello everyone, I recently given Microsoft the boot and almost completely moved to linux. I have done this by installing the Blag Distro: see http://www.blagblagblag.org (Blag is based on Red Hat 9 - and comes bundled with a bunch of Internet goodies including gaim...) The only Windows functionality that I havent been able to replace thus far - is Video Conferencing via MSN with my friends and Family back home (I am living overseas right now) I was wondering, do any instant messengers for linux have a video conferencing option like MSN does? If so, please let me know - thanks Also - if there are any development efforts in this area - send me the link as I too am a comp sci dude... thanks Fire Share this post Link to post
danleff 0 Posted February 21, 2004 Do a Google search on amsn and gnomemeeting and look to see if video conferencing is supported. Can you install RedHat RPM packages in your distro? Share this post Link to post
jebba 0 Posted March 12, 2004 BLAG comes with gnomemeeting, which is a netmeeting compatible video conferncing program. If gnomemeeting wasn't installed when you did your initial install, you can download and and install it like this (run as root from command line): apt-get update apt-get install gnomemeeting It will then be in the "Internet" menu item as "Video Conferencing" You can also update your BLAG system by running: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade This will sync you with the current release, 9002. (BLAG uses both RPM and apt by the way) Share this post Link to post
