Buy a Mac ...

then install ohphoneX to get H.323 video/audio or gnomemeeting for
audio and incoming video.

.. or better stay with linux and install gnomemeeting.
( Preferable a version above 1.0 )

I think with  H.323  you just hit one point where linux has
better options ;-)

But yes - I agree consumer grade is sometimes nice.
For document scanning and pdf conversion I gave up on linux.
