Skype 2.0 for Linux: Making a nerd's dreams come true

By My status Howard Wolinsky on March 13, 2008 in In the news, News, Events, Milestones, Skype Beta and new releases.

When my cousin Ted, a computer engineer and genetic genealogy buff from Tucson, Ariz., heard I was going to be blogging for Skype, he had one question:

“When are they going to upgrade Skype’s Linux version? Like to fix bugs and offer video calling.

Ted didn’t have to wait long for an answer.

Skype on March 13 released the new Linux version of Skype for nerds like Ted.

Ryan over at the Linux blog spells it all out in his “Seeing is believing” entry.

Skype announced the free general release of Skype 2.0 for Linux with video calling.
You can Download it here.

Ryan says the new Linux version, available in 20 languages, also improves audio and fixes hundreds of bugs.

This will make Ted happy. Maybe we can spend hours at a time on video calls now, instead of just chatting about genetics on audio.
