Skype 2.1 Beta for Linux

After quite a while, Skype has released a new version of their client for Linux (2.1 Beta). It FINALLY supports PulseAudio without having to tweak your whole sound system…It’s supported for Fedora 9+, Ubuntu 8+, Debian Lenny and OpenSUSE 11+.

Get the new version here.

    Awesome! wait… where’s the src rpm? This doesn’t seem like free software.

    Yes, but some people (like me) HAVE to use it in their company…so i’m really glad to have a working version.

    Hi,

    Apparently there are only 32 bit versions for Fedora whereas there are 64bit once for Ubuntu.

    Does anybody provides a 64bit rpm for Fedora ?

    Thank you very much !

    Doesn’t look like…but the 32-Bit version works just fine if you install the dependencies.
