Hi Jimmy, I don't know if "video conference" could be done with open source. I'm not a friend of Google, but since it's a giant search engine, it could be helpful to get more information. There are explanations, how to install Skype, but the ethics link might explain, why Skype likely is no option. Audio conference seems to be possible with Ubuntu and perhaps "video chat" means that a video conference is also possible, but perhaps it only means that two ports and not a group can use it. A few links I didn't completely read, so they might or might not be helpful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeEthics http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Videoconferencing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga/FAQ https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Apps/Empathy?action=show&redirect=Empathy Conferences could be an issue, not only regarding different time zones. If people are willing to spend time on a video conference, first have a longer test conference with friends, to ensure that there will be no troubles. If you can't present at least one Ubuntu Studio computer that runs trouble-free, you leave a bad impression. Consider to set up a long time tested stable workstation with Ubuntu Studio for all tasks that are wanted. To get help with this join the appropriate mailing lists. This list and https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users are good, but als consider to get help from https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users and assumed you're using Xfce, I guess it's still the default desktop environmentfor Ubuntu Studio, also consider to join https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users For learning purpose also consider to at least install a backup of your install as a virtualbox guest and test upgrades, especially release upgrades. Also check backwards compatibility of data, after using copies of data with new software versions. Linux usually is the better choice, but it isn't without pitfalls. If you want convince somebody to use Ubuntu Studio, you should be able to avoid and resolve issues. Be careful to change anything within a school year, better test it during holidays.
