what to use instead of skype?

[Matt Price]

hey folks,

so my extended family are all videoconferencing with skype now.  I went
through some efforts to get skype 1.3 working on my ubuntu laptop (dell
latitude d820, some futzy audio settings), only to discover that the
linux version has no video!!!  I've never been so insulted, I tell ya...
anyway, I need to figure out some way of getting video working, or my
mother and father will KILL me with endless kvetching about how they
don't get to see their grandchildren.  

So my question:  Is there a video conferencing app that works across
platforms (windows/linux most important, but my brother and his kiids
are on mac, so all three would be better) that I can sell as a skype
alternative?

thanks as always,
matt
