Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, this uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users - not to share files this time, but to talk for free with your friends. The technology is extremely advanced - but super simple to use. You'll be making perfect quality free phone calls to your friends in no time.

    Sound and video are working just fine on Linux, this latest version as well as previous versions.

    No troubles.

    Doesn't let use my KDE/Qt theme, otherwise a decent piece of software.

    Changelog is here: http://share.skype.com/s...a_2_aka_talking_sc.html

    There is something wrong with the deb install file because it won't install...

    P.S.

    It seems that you have to uninstall the old version before installing this one...

    Ugh, it sucks more bandwitdh than any of the SIP based Voip providers - probably because it operates on a p2p model.

    Grab yourself one of the SIP based phones and ditch the proprietary Skype already.
