A bit of that and the other
Skype on my solaris box and maybe more!!
I was on my solaris dekstop and i realised i wanted to call my brother but i was halfway doing something so i could not switch to linux or windows as my other pc was in bits for some other stuff. So it came to me..
BrandZ, i quickly ruzzled up a linuz zone guided from the opensolaris guide
Over at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/brandz/install/
which took 5 minutes.
I then went over and got the linux version from
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/
compiled it after trying to start it got stuck.
It was time for a quick search
Bumped into darren's post

After getting
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.13.tar.bz2
compiled it and it worked like a charm.
Winner!!!!
After xmas if i get get my encoding from a minidv camera going to the brandz i would kiss my linux install goodbye,
maybe its time to add to the xmas list a new graphics card for the solaris box and try unreal tournament.
That would be wayy cool....
Although a bit late with my brandz the future seems bright.
