Skype - Linux Beta Release

[GhostShip]

Good news for those who have already escaped "uncle bills" clutches

After almost 9 months of development, rumours, frustration, hope, absence of hope, resurrection of hope and killing of hope again I’m somewhat happy to announce the arrival of Skype for Linux 1.3.0.30 beta!

Since it is a beta its main purpose is to collect a lot of feedback from you, folks. Come and get it here. I’ll briefly list major changes below, and feel free to tell me about anything that doesn’t work as expected, or even at all

This story is of interest to some of our roomies who use Linux so I thought I would throw it in here just the once

i still strongly advise against skype, performance is bad, no compatibility with standard equipment, and it's damn expensive :-S
