quote [ Skype for Linux enables you to make Skype voice calls using your Linux desktop or laptop with an Internet connection.
Select the version that is most appropriate for your Linux platform, and then click on the button below to download Skype for Linux Beta to your PC. Downloading and using Skype for Linux Beta is free of charge. ] I just noticed that this existed, so I figured I'd share. I haven't tried it yet though, so who knows if it is any good. :-D

It works. I have a lousy setup for it (I used the mic and monitor set up for recording my guitar), but it worked fine from California to Virginia. Linux to Windows. Worked fine, but everybody uses cellphones nowadays. |

I agree, my cell phone charges nothing for US coast-to-coast. I just found it interesting because I got grilled by a few in #se to "OMFG INSTALL IT SI TEH BESTE", and my reply was that I don't run Windows, so I can't. I consider it newsworthy, but not lifestyle changing. :-) |

Just yesterday I was just thinking about Skype and my running Linux and FreeBSD, wondering when this was going to come out. Thanks, I was waiting for this. |

There was a linux version before... 0.9.sth it's quite good, cept for some security issues... The line gets routed through few servers and does not go directly p2p. |

I've used this to chat with people in China (from Australia) and it's damn good. |

zonephone sounds better - but smaller userbase and crappier interface. |
