Default Solaris working on a BrandZ Zone with Skype?

hi

Check out what i just read now

http://blogs.sun.com/gravax/entry/skype_1_4_on_solaris

Its about how to run skype on Solaris in a brandz zone.

i tried it but did not get anything to work.

But That sounds so cool what you said about linux
i have been pulling my hair out over certain issues on Solaris

Yes very nice OS indeed but The support is not good at all.
Also when i run programs like second life chat
the movies in world do not play at all.

i heard they can work if you compile second life, and i had tried to compile
and that is something i am not too good with,.because i get confused when
extracting certain folders like artwork, and where or what folder they go into.
and a few other things like patches that you have to put i place.
i need a kindergarden teacher to help me with that kind of stuff lol.

Also another issue was voice chat does not work in
Second life either which was annoying.

So i just use a packaged version of Second life with no movies
and no Audio chat whatsoever.

i know it all works on FreeBSD and you also have Skype on FreeBSD

Last night o was so fed up with Solaris that i installed FreeBSD
from scratch.another OS i truly love alot

That was really fun doing that all over again but i ran into some problem
only after doing an upgrade my sound server signal 11 crashed on KDE.
i looked all over google as google is my friend and i found nothing to cure it.
and so i gave up too easily as i did not see anyone on here late lastnigt
so i am back on Solaris this morning again.

i really can not wait for the Linux thing to all be possible on Solaris.
so i can at least install Skype on here and talk to some of my friends using voice so i do not always have to Use a different OS.

i read on a web page that the Snv version of second life is supose to work when playing movies
i tried that and still it did not work not even on Open Solaris did it work for me either.

So now i am back to my good ole Solaris Express version.
