    I am looking for a chat client that will allow me to video chat with friends using iChat. I am sticking with Linpus Linux Lite 1.0.7 for now. Any suggestions?

    PS: I am new to Linux but am a quick learner... ;)

    Aspire One AOA110-1955
    Linpus Linux Lite v1.0.7
    Intel Atom N270 @ 1.6GHz
    1.5GB RAM
    8GB SSD

    Thanks. I have tried Skype and it works. I was hopping for a solution that would prevent me from teaching my family another application.

    My video with the Aspire One and Skype sucks. The frame rate is very, very slow. Audio works well. Video coming in from the other person is great. Is there any way to improve my video quality?

    From my experience, tokbox doesn't work with the AAO cam while running Linux.
