Ever wished to have a Yahoo Webcam chat in your Linux but all you could get was a text chat using pidgin , well for those who did not knew this there is a special multi protocol IM client ( these are those that support multiple chat networks like aol,msn,yahoo,gtalk etc .) it’s name is KOPETE and believe me it is a wonderful. It comes already installed with KDE version of  Ubuntu ie. Kubuntu  but you can get it installed on Ubuntu Gnome from your Synaptic package manager

Using Kopete, you can easily have a Webcam chat with your friends inside Linux .
