Skype 2.0 for LinuxSkype has released the final version of Skype 2.0 for Linux. The internet telephony application has been available as a public beta since November, but the latest release includes a ton of bug fixes and a few new features.

Skype 2.0's biggest feature is support for video calls, which means you can do pretty much anything with the Linux version of Skype that you can do with the PC or Mac clients. That includes making PC to PC phone calls or video calls for free, or PC to telephone calls for a fee.

Packages are available for Ubuntu, Debian, Xandros, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mandriva, and CentOS.

Skype 2.0 beta for Linux adds video support

Skype 2.0 for Linux
It looks like Skype is getting closer to offering the exact same features for Windows, Mac, and Linux users. Today Skype has addressed one of the gaping holes of its Linux version by adding support for video calls.

Skype 2.0 beta for Linux is available for several popular Linux distributions including Debian, Mepis, Xandros, Mandriva, and OpenSuse. For some reason while there are Ubuntu and Fedora packages available, they're for older versions of those operating systems. There are packages for Ubuntu 7.04 (while 7.10 was released a few weeks ago) and Fedora 7 (even though Fedora 8 is due out tomorrow).

You'll need a video card driver with Xv support, and a PC with a 1GHz processor to run Skype 2.0 beta for Linux.
