Why one should not use globe7?

globe7 is a voip thingy for Linux.

Don't bother installing it, as they are yet to learn how to create a decent deb package which would not screw your linux system up.

Here's an example:


# dpkg -r globe7
(Reading database ... 124718 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing globe7 ...
dpkg - warning: while removing globe7, directory `/usr/local/share' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing globe7, directory `/usr/local' not empty so not removed.



globe7 - DO NOT USE THIS VOIP APPLICATION

Using Skype to call India

I like Skype - especially because Skype has Linux Clients, and they simply work, unlike Google Talk, Y messenger etc, on Linux. (In case you're interested to run Skype client on Linux, go for the latest Linux Beta Clients from this page)

But, what is preventing me from using Skype as my long distance/International Call Carrier?

Their rates, of course...!

Rates to India from Skype - 15.0 ¢ per minute
Rates to India from elsewhere - 6.2 ¢ per minute

Do the math...!
