I'm looking for a solution to the following problem. My relatives live 200 km away. They have a daughter, and I need to help her out with school homework etc. At the moment we cannot do it on a regular basis, because doing it over the phone is really difficult and time consuming. I thought some screen sharing software would solve this. A video conferencing or a VoIP feature would be a nice bonus, too. For easy writing I would probably buy graphics tablets since writing math formulas or drawing isn't particularly fast or easy with keyboard and mouse. So, is there some easy-to-use Linux program? I have Linux desktops on both ends (Ubuntu and Gentoo), so portability or OS-independence is not a requirement. Do you have any other ideas? For the record, we have a 2 Mbit DSL line on one end and a 6 Mbit on the other. Those are, of course, downstream=20 bandwidth rates. Best wishes, Renat --=20 Probleme kann man niemals mit derselben Denkweise loesen, durch die sie entstanden sind.
