We are runnning a Network in a large Student Apartment House, with about 500 PCs connected. Whenever someone starts shouting: "Hey my network doesn't function and it's all your fault!" You just go there, pop the knoppix CD into the drive, surf to slashdot, download some mp3s and tell him: "Nope, it's yours."
You would not believe in how many ways you can misconfigure a personal firewall!
I use an old bt848 tv-card together with a little PAL surveillance camera from the local electronics store, and it works just great. and I doubt that it costs much more than a halfway decent webcam.
i would just like to point out that Netmeeting is not free (in whichever sense you want to use the word), it happens to come only with an OS that you still have to pay quite a lot of money for.
Only because most people buy the right to use it together with their new PC doesn't mean it's free.
