Free 1 to 1 video chat software?

[JedClampett]

I'm Looking for a DIY video server program, that would enable an XP machine and a Vista machine to communicate directly using video and audio. So I'd basically like to avoid using the online video services, and set up my own private video client and server. Is there any way to do this on Windows OS please? Also I'm running a Centos 5.7 Linux box and I could setup the video server on my Centos 5.7 box if that is an option?

Reason being I want to avoid sharing a popular video server (like Skype or YM or ooVoo) with millions of other users, for speed and security issues.

Edit: found this framework here that looks promising:
