Subject: Re: [office] "Adobe donates meeting collaboration tool for TC use"
Greetings
Looking at the system requirements (http://www.adobe.com/products/connect/productinfo/systemreqs/) I am looking at this prospect with some trepidation. It seems that on linux using firefox 1.5+ one can be a participant, but not a presenter or author. This is an example of software which we generally try to avoid as it soon becomes one of the "roadblock" applications which limits our options around operating system migration and choice.
If Windows is a requirement for being a "first class" participant in such conferences I think it should be strongly discouraged. Though I do understand that Adobe has generously offered the software and would like exposure for it.
Perhaps it makes sense to understand what the requirements (or nice to haves) are first, before looking at what might be offered by a particular tool. If the major requirement is collaborative editing then I find google docs really useful (and pretty simple and bandwidth friendly).
I have played a bit with online collaboration tools going back to the mbone vic/vat/wb stuff and the tcl groupkit developed in the 90's. Too much functionality can get in the way of the communication.
Regards
Bob

Try Ubuntu Dapper or Gutsy. Really specific kernel version shouldn't
make a lick of difference. It's the version of X.org that really
matters. Those versions of Ubuntu should be the best test cases.
