i've been wondering the same thing for a long time now. i'm on gentoo, which i've been very happy with for the most part. unfortunately, i can't get php to emerge properly (because a certain dep doesn't emerge properly) so i can't emerge subversion, so i can't follow the instructions at http://kopete.kde.org/svnaccess.php . seems like even if i could follow them, i still wouldn't be able to broadcast from my webcam... it's all very frustrating. i bought a new linux-compatible webcam just so i co...
