Interesting to know, that you use Linux....
Can we know which distribution? All the three or anything in specific

Of course, you can!
Now I'm using FedoraCore5 on the first PC, Mandriva.10 on the second PC (an old one), and Ubuntu on the third PC, the oldest one.
As you can argue, I am only testing (for myself) and doing practice to be able to do my choice in the future, knowing what I'm using.
I like linux but I dont like to trouble, so I do not use Debian and Slackware: people says that the two of those are a bit difficult but serious.
I am a 25 years old male. I live at Pune, India. I gained interest towards Linux during my Masters in Computer Applications where we had Linux in our syllabus. Now, I use Linux and not my previous love, WinXP. Everything goes fine except "quake3" and "Yahoo Messenger with voice".

You could possibly, consider using Skype available here
It's available for windows and linux, so ask those, whom you communicate with, to use skype...!
Yes, I have skype with me already. And, now I have found a program that works with Yahoo voice and webcame too (I haven't got it to work yet, but that's what they say).
