You’ll need to get the latest version of Skype – possibly just a software update if you still have the default Linux install running for the first time. You also may have to enable the webcam in the BIOS as mine wasn’t enabled by default.

This might help as well.

Hi!

I recently bought an EEEPC “4G”. And I got some challenges using the built in webcam on skype and messenger.
Would you be able to give some advise how to get the webcam working with Linus OS.

Having owned a Mac Mini with 512 MB of RAM (now upgraded), I’d advise against entertaining thoughts of running OS X on the eee. It’s a really interesting little piece of kit though.

Thanks Allen.

I’m still on the fence – pay $400 now or wait until MacWorld to see if Steve has his own version – which will most likely cost a bit more than $400.

One of my friends here in Vancouver, Dan, got one and he's thrilled with it. He made a couple comments about it on my post on the Eee from a couple weeks ago. For the price, it seems like a really solid buy.
