The Linux Webex client might work. http://support.webex.com/support/system-requirements.html says it'll run under Fedora 10, and linux_base-f10 works well. Failing that, there's Wine. Firefox and the Flash plugin run under Wine. There are occasional graphic artifacts and Firefox windows want a double-click on the close gadget to actually close, but otherwise it works very well. Java also runs, although there it's not 100%. Maybe enough for Webex. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
