Which is the best version of skype to install in CentOS 5.3? skype.i586 2.0.0.72-fc5 from the skype repo or skype 2.1.0.47-fc10.i586.rpm from the 'skype for linux beta' downloads section of the skype website?
I'm using the static version, which works fine. I have an install script for it, see below. Download the tarball and put it in /tmp, then run the script as root. Only thing you'll miss is a correct .desktop file, which comes from another script here.
Cheers,
