[ARMedslack] Skype on ARM linux

[Davide]

Yesterday I did a bit of research and found a few more options:
kopete (does not properly support socks proxy so I cannot use it @ work but appart from that looks quite promising and is already packaged in Slackware),
pidgin (needs gnome to have the video/audio stuff work properly, I'm not going to evade all the gnome dependencies any time soon),
ekiga (I remember having to work quite hard to get some sort of basic functionality on x86 slackware last time I tried it as soft phone @ work, I'll do without that)

I've still to try
amsn 

linphone (I remember having to exclude this as s soft phone option @ work and hadto go with ekiga, but I can't recall why)

Objet: [ARMedslack] Skype on ARM linux





I'll begin my stating that I do not consider Android as having much to do with ARM linux. 
This this in mind what are the alternatives, if any, for having skype on ARM linux ? 

Is there some other instant messaging client (chat and video capable) that is knows to work well on ARM linux ? 
I read somewhere that pidgin supports video chat as of version 2.6: anyone tried video chatting with it ? will it work on Slackware ARM without chasing dependencies till you're driven nuts ?
