Video Skype on Aspire One

Video Skype on Aspire One

I have an Acer Aspire One netbook with the default Linpus Lite OS. It only supports video chat using Pidgin with MSN accounts. All of my contacts have Skype or Google accounts set up, but not MSN. Is it possible to video chat with Skype or Google contacts? I would be willing to install a different OS in order to achieve this.
