We waited a little while with this news, because we wanted official confirmation from Skype before jumping on the internet bandwagon. It's official now, so here we go: Skype has announced that it will release its Linux client as open source. A little late, but welcome nonetheless.

Good to hear the RPM build is behaving for you. Did you notice if it pulled in 32bit or 64bit dependencies? My go with the Ubuntu 64bit .deb looks like it'll run fine but it's asking to pull in 32bit dependencies which is the point I canceled it.
Being able to double-click packages and have the installer pick them up is a very nice touch for when one does have to download from outside the repositories.
