Finally a working gtalk voip in linux !!!!!


I have been browsing through net and came across this post
http://alex.eftimie.ro/2008/11/18/howto-gmail-voice-and-video-chat-on-ubuntu-linux/
I have tried jabber and other gtalk voip clients for linux that are said to be working , and nothing actually worked for me. I was bored and thought i would give the above method a shot (thinking that it would end the same as before). Surprisingly it worked :), for the first time i was able to call a gtalk user and do voice chat from linux :) althought video doesn't work.
However im still using pidgin and occationally switch when voip is necessary. And i already gave up on google to release gtalk linux native.
