I've tried both. And i have gotten skype to work with a USB headset, but the couple of months it took me to figure it out, and it wasn't really worth it. Gizmo has promise, but right now it does not work on amd64. It might with a bit more effort but i haven't gotten around to it yet. As a

I've read http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Skype and it looks ok. Under fedora it never quite worked right, some sort of incompatability with xmms I suspect. Just sorta soliciting experiences with skype and gentoo :) If I can get it working properly that'd be one less reason to use windows :)
