I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-prerelease, and use Skype all the time, without any problems. Infact I'm satisfied with its performance, audio is perfect, I mange to change the skin, now looks great. It is a fresh install of the 6.2-prerelease, I can't remmeber when I checked out the src, but can check if it is important. Note: I don't know if it is related but adding this to my /etc/hosts, helps me for a lot of net-applications problems. 127.0.0.1 localhost aislap where aislap is my hostname, and this is the only active line in the hosts.
