Just installed Elluminate on linux and I'm not entirely sure how I did it.
I went to a link posted by my maths tutor to an up-coming online tute and clicked to join. Firefox said here, run this file using java, I said OK. Lots of files were downloaded by java edk/sdk or something and then a chatroom opened up.
I guess you need to have java(yes I know there are proper instructions around) installed for it to work. This was good and easy though, two clicks and it's all worky, sweet!
So I ventured somewhat tentatively into the firstclass client that came with the Applications CD Rom, running it in WINE of course. I picked up on one conversation where the OP mentioned they were on a nix system and a respondent had replied similarly. Of course I had to wade in and I'm glad I did. I pointed them in the direction of the OUUbuntu project, as sent to me on twitter by @stuartbrown of @openuniversity fame!
Then Max Ashton, of *fame yet to be determined* let me know about the FirstClass Debian Package!! Oh yes, so now my firstclass client is as pretty as a picture, this picture in fact...
So that's my tip of the day, if you're using Linux, go to the firstclass download page and grab the linux version of the client!
