[Klug-general] KLUG - Karoshi Doc Project - VIRTUAL MEETING

[Clive Hills]

Some comments:
   Mumble isn't packaged as yet for Fedora 9.
   More importantly it has major levels of dependencies.
   So far I've spent 3 hours trying to build an RPM on Fedora 9 which is
what I use on my machines.
   I appreciate why you want to do voice conferencing. I'm not sure mumble
is the right platform.

I understand it's available in Ubuntu/Debian/Xanados as a package.

The reason IRC is popular is that IRC clients exist for almost all platforms
from Amiga
