By the way, is Voice supported on Linux? (I haven't downloaded it yet)

Linux client is not supported. Looks like SLVoice.exe is closed-source and was not ported to Linux machine, but I'm not sure.
 
Some people told me it could be possible to run SLVoice.exe on Windows (under vmware or something) or Wine and Linux client would be able to use it, maybe with some hacks.
 
Meanwhile, people are forced to use skype or any other voip service.

One interesting part is missing here: How can i change my voice, will a voice changer be supported? --Sascha Vandyke 17:52, 2 August 2007 (PDT)

Although Linden Lab at some point did mention that an in-built voice-changing/morphing editor will be supported in SL, in the mean time, you can use any of the popular voice morphing tools, like AV Voice Changer or MorphVox. Gwygory Voom is an employee of Screaming Bee who is glad to help you out with setting up MorphVox properly, and they have even designed a voice pack specifically for SL Furries. Sadly, they haven't got a Mac version (yet — also working on it!) but if you've got a Mac, you can use GarageBand and use Ali Maltz tips to get it working with SL.
Don't expect miracles with either of these technologies, though :) They work, but they're no perfect. Still, they have been progressively advancing in technology and at least you'll have some fun sounding like a Bunny or Dragon :)

Question Typo

--You have a wikifying typo at the end:
"====Is Voice open source>" should be "====Is Voice open source?====", right? -Smiley.

Just to let you know ... there are countries where VoIP is actively being blocked, like in the UAE in the Middle East. If you happen to live in one of these countries, don't expect Voice to work in SL. Skype does not work here either.

Linux

Linux client is not supported. Looks like SLVoice.exe is closed-source and was not ported to Linux machine, but I'm not sure.

Some people told me it could be possible to run SLVoice.exe on Windows (under vmware or something) or Wine and Linux client would be able to use it, maybe with some hacks.

Meanwhile, people are forced to use skype or any other voip service.
