Well, it depends on what you call a replacement: Jitsi and Ekiga can do the work as well as Skype, but not with the Skype protocol and "network". But if your contacts do not care about it, it's ok. I tried Jitsi last year after the FOSDEM, but it was too much buggy. I tried again this year (after the FOSDEM again), and I think it si now usable. You can also try Ekiga which is also usable on other OS. With both of these pieces of software, the main problem when moving from Skype is to change your buddies' habits :\ Regards, JC --tT3UgwmDxwvOMqfu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSFGU7AAoJEOkyS97BJP8nNvwQAIVDpdsnRp46662B8/fhd+x9 wuc2BuNF5tlbPIb1HWeoT6dqLAJ+dVLBizeBkkCap4u2VOeei/FcmZS8qwOY4fFE TvUy8eoXkfDYHP9KRTserG5j2Qootbt60jgOOadlwbmuqCY0Aaamj/1vFS8f+0Jh sLk+oMAl5VdgBkevbjE9AQxgobpgC5nZGIWc687oK38P6JaCwNvrXp/dF91+gUk3 AAlQPEEYVs5pr+KJWsstrdpV2qgTDHNSNbyCFChPvIguGqFRt6mshMLRrU+p7EYu KpDyVFJoin4xVJXCn92iMufAIcOWqzytpn7hAcfhlhkNG3cKufivjWDDYolTzsM2 y06xeeHH5gqAQQFm8ki1Yjw9nH/Gw04O2ShgDAO1L4J/kborsyvWJBN1X3jd0yjL uaG8IeNPh60ID8QZQtZ8+XyKAWvnjvDCSsctM3Lz4TzmBmSCzqV4rONJdSYKafS+ V/eACu3YAiFVoXOgui6NrKB2bisMDkEDb1ODd8cs7CllG/mo8dJOVAJk2OKy+Asu UfnBkuiwkNbvjA8Mv4QcRotOAsA8/FcHiCFrFUi/IwQPeT53XrlyKjbWwaYW9zxY bq8/suyv6xZqUcmlI2ZrQcnn9zW/U5NDsbFpqys1YXHcpFIzAm1Grj6KFd19gPcB fn1UZgZO6O0lDaZZyKuo =4gFC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tT3UgwmDxwvOMqfu--
