I think you're overdoing this. Simply use something like google chat/hangouts with video calling. This also provides two-way video calling. And it works perfectly well under linux. A downer - but those who can't be there can end up feeling worse because they can see everyone else having fun without them. This is not a technical problem that can be solved. -- Criggie http://criggie.org.nz/ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
