Webex does work on Linux. We've been on webinars with Talend who use it.

See this page: http://www.webex.co.uk/what-is-webex/faqs.html and the 
question:

"What are the system requirements? (Is it Mac compatible?)

You can host a WebEx meeting, and people can join from PC, Mac, Linux, 
Unix, and Solaris systems. You can also join from a smartphone."

GoToMeeting doesn't work on linux.

There is also dimdim and openmeetings http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/
