“You can download the Windows Ekiga installer here. Linux users
should be able to install Ekiga using your normal package manager.
You will, of course, need a working webcam and microphone already
set up. For the remainder of the article we’ll be using Ekiga
for Windows 3.0.2 and Ekiga for Linux 3.2.5.

“I won’t cover the basic installation as it’s the
same as any other app on Windows or Linux. Things get more
interesting on the first run, where you go through the
Configuration Assistant. It’s a step-by-step
“wizard” for getting everything configured. After
entering basic info like name, you’ll be taken to the first
real config screen.”
