    A good example is Skype. This is a fun device that lets you talk all 
over the world using the Internet. Yes they do produce a Linux version. 
On Windows a cam camera with a mike aboard is all you need. You set the 
camera so it see's you and you can talk through it. On Fedora 8 you get 
the VERY latest model and it will run. The web cam does not even find 
Skype or Skye it. But it does limp along with voice. This is so much fun 
I do it on my laptop with windows.
