[ug-bosug] installing skype

[Moinak Ghosh]

Hi Siva,

   Skype is not available for Solaris. It is available only for Windows, Linux
and Mac OSX. Looks like you downloaded the Linux version. It is possible
to use Skype on Solaris from within a Linux Branded zone but I do not
recollect the exact steps for that. Maybe someone else on this list can
help you out.

Regards,
Moinak.
