Dear All,

I was wondering if I could get some feed back about running Skype on the 
OpenBSD 4.2. (i386 with the generic kernel)
I read wonderful  article about installation of Skype on OpenBSD

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.bsd.india/352

and I have couple of questions.

I checked the packages (I use packages only on my older rigs) and I see 
that
fedora_base is still for Fedora Core 4.0.

When I checked the Skype website I see that the current version 1.4 is 
for Fedora Core 6.0 There is also Skype Static OSS. I am not sure Skype 
Static OSS might be even for Solaris despite the fact that is listed 
under Linux.
My assumption  is  that Fedora Core 6.0 uses ALSA and even worse 
possibly Linux 2.6 kernel and that probably can not run on OpenBSD.


Which one of the two packages should I choose? Should I may be try to 
find Skype 1.2.
Can anyone share hers/his experience in running Skype on OpenBSD.

Best,
Predrag
