I started up with linux in 2005, but the heat of cisco exams has caused some kind of a temporary break. Any linux fan just holla in, naija is waiting to hear from you  If linux doesn't have a solution, then probably you have the wrong problem. |

with vmware installed on your windows PC, u can try out a linux OS & feel the power; no virus scares and with loads of freebies to cater all probs.
Linux is da bomb!

first of all u need to know if your webcam is working on ubuntu , * some webcams don't work and u would need to install the driver , install cheese , it is in synaptics , just open synatics and search for cheese , its an awesome app for taking pictures and video shots with your webcam , if cheese works then your webcam is ok , if it doesnt , it would give u an error msg, let me know and please post the system i.e lappy and if possible the type of webcam , back to your quetsion , kopete is a good msger client that supports webcam . , search synatics for it u should also search for and install jasper and libjasper *Synaptic is your tool for installing ,upgrading, and removing packages on ubuntu , and it can be found in the top panel under System/Administration |

u can do that try going to www.getdeb.net there u can download individual packages to install , however u have to learn to use synaptics cus its the way ubuntu was built , and it sure makes thing easy especially when u have a program that has dependencies , it would install them for u , so my friend get used to synaptics , it would say u from having to jump from one site to the other looking for downloads , |
