Hello, I'm thinking of switching to Debian. I have a few questions.
I have an IBM T21 Thinkpad, with the UltraCam II camera, Windows 2000, and a cable modem. I use the UltraCam to video conference with my family and friends via Netmeeting now. I also stay in touch with friends with MS Messenger. My friends are not Linux users, and won't become Linux users soon, so that's out. I need a recent, stock kernel to use the drivers for the Ultracam with Linux. I want to have a Netmeeting compatible videoconferencing client (so my friends can contact me reliably) and a MS Messenger compatible IM client - preferably one that also allows the voice connection with Messenger as well as text IM. My friends will be using MS Windows something, with Netmeeting and Messenger - they can't use Linux on their end. I believe I'd be happy with Gnome or KDE. I've the most experience with KDE, but I'm not using either while I'm hanging out in Win2k. Can anyone verify that I can do these things in Debian, and which distribution I will need to use? These are the last barriers keeping me from switching to booting Linux first choice. Thanks in advance, Bret -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
