Hello, seko.tica,

I sometimes use skype on a P4/2.4 GHz/1GB box and Samsung N220 netbook, 
even with the web cam. There's version 2.1.0.81_1,1 of skype in the 
ports, not very resource-hungry. But for that you need to set up Linux 
compatibility layer (see the Handbook for instructions); there's no 
native FreeBSD version of skype.
