Hello good people
Does anybody have any experience with setting up or running Skype on Linux..??
 
Which Linux mate?

On me Media Centre that you kindly donated towards (FX5200 & RAM) my girlfriends uses a Skype phone on that in bed, it uses Ubuntu Hardy.

My Brother set it up so if its Ubuntu your are using i will ask him.

Ha yeah,

I tried Mandriva Free Spring and its soooo hard, Ubuntu is a lot easier and seems to have more support and guides on the net.

She came home with a Skype phone and gave it to me as lots of her teacher friends have them and i just looked at her, i said

"you get to watch films and record tv and then play it back in bed, what more do you want? "

Obviously a Skype phone in bed as well, doesn't matter that we have, 3 cordless Philips phones and she has a mobile as well. Women.

Well i did just get a 37" TV out of her so can't complain too much.

Clearly there is smething altogether missing if she has all these things in bed...:lol: :lol: Skype is handy for me with family the other end of the world, and the majority of friends I have over here have it to..As for Linux, well i'll have a little look at it and see how I get on, maybe I like it maybe I don't...
 
Ha you cheeky f***, she gets plenty is just super dooper lazy, shes a teacher, she isn't happy with13 weeks holiday a year.
 
I know what you saying..My other half used to teach, all she complained about was been over worked and under payed..So I suggested changing jobs..Now she works for British Airways and complains about the same..lol..I'd love to do her job and get to fly to nice countries every other day.
 
If its Hardy Heron you are using then everything should be a walk in the park. Mandriva is pretty easy to set up aswell if you use the 32 bit version, the 64 bit takes a tiny bit more setting up but there is at least one good guide on the net for it.
