Thursday, Google announced that it added support for browser-based voice and video chat in Debian-based Linux distributions. If you rock Ubuntu, or any Debian-flavored OS, you can head over to gmail.com/videochat to download the plugin. The full text of the post is below:

If you’ve been wanting to use voice and video chat on Linux (our top video chat request), then we have good news for you: it’s now available! Visit gmail.com/videochat to download the plugin and get started. Voice and video chat for Linux supports Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux distributions, and RPM support will be coming soon.

        Are people still so confused to believe Android is Linux?? Its as much Linux as a TiVo box’s OS. It just uses the kernel, not the full stack.

        That’d be Maemo and MeeGo as full Linux OSes. The rest are toy cut down OSes.
