browser. However in the last year, they have become much more focused on
their hosted fully-featured product and the community version seems to be
dating. There are probably better (on the free and active front) server
based apps. like OpenMeetings: More in this line from this blog [2]. On the whiteboard, especially on GNU/LINUX, it is probably a good idea to
see how drivers for tablets fit into your scheme: I have not had much luck
here. Using the mouse restricts you to point-and-click or at most
highlighting, and even a simple circle ends up looking like its been drawn
by a 3-year old. Trying to write Math equations is really a challenge! Andrew.
