I just bought a webcam last saturday from the Aldi supermarket. I got

Kopete?
The only thing I could find on Kopete's plugins was "Netmeeting", which
uses gnomemeeting. Is this what I need to use, and how do I setup a
connection to someone else.
I don't want to discredit Linux, and make it look like it's rubbish, so
am just looking for some pointers as to how the webcam works with
Kopete.
As you probably asume, I will be contacting folks using MS windows, who
are either using MSN, or AIM.
Nigel.
Webcam: Lifetec LT9388 using ov511+, and well supported with Linux.
Test distro: Kubuntu 5.10
Kernel: 2.6.12-10-386
Kopete is an all-purpose, multi-protocol messenging system. I don't
think it can use webcams. However, you can use amsn (Aldo's MeSseNger)
which is able to behave almost like MSN - webcam included. It works well
once you've configured port redirection on your routers.
I think the latest version of Kopete can with certain protocol plugins:

Hi Kevin. I've had a look at that, and it sounds promising. Next slight
problem. I've never upgraded any installed KDE packages before. Any tips, as
the latest version will no doubt be a tarball, and will want to install
in /usr/local/bin.
Nigel.
Current Kopete is 0.10.4 using KDE 3.4.3
