Hi Jen,
Just a small note. You don't need Skype for video chats. AMSN, Ekiga, Kopete
among others work fine on Lenny and don't leave you open to the risk of
vendor lock-in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendor_lock-in Skype uses a
proprietary protocol for audio (I don't know about Skype video) whereas the
ones that I listed above don't. This gives you and your correspondents a
choice. With Skype you can only use Skype.
Cheers,
Jonathan
