I use skype for the same, but I don't think it supports video conferencing. Audio conferencing is available though. And you can share files as well.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/5/21 Arun Thomas <<a href="mailto:imamal@gmail.com">imamal@gmail.com</a>>:<br>

<br>
I have an Windoze using relative who's experiencing all the symptoms<br>
his OS is famous for; mysterious hangings, spyware, viruses etc.<br>
<br>
I tried to sell him the idea of Linux, showed him my laptop running<br>
Sabayon. With Firefox, KOffice and VLC he was more than convinced,<br>
until we took a look at Pidgin.<br>
<br>
He has a daughter who lives in the UK, whom he chats with daily via<br>
Gtalk, so this is a very vital application.<br>
He uses audio conferencing. She also shares photos with via Gtalk's<br>
file transfer.<br>
<br>
My question is<br>
- how can I do audio conferencing on Pidgin?<br>
- how can I transfer files between Gtalk and Pidgin, since most<br>
people use Gtalk?<br>
- is there any other client i can use to over come this problem?<br>
