Skype 2.1 beta for Linux
Skype 2.1 beta for Linux also supports sending SMS messages, organizing contacts within contact groups, and a few chat enhancements. The update also brings support for Pulse Audio.
There's also a new panel icon that shows the number of missed events. Skype 2.1 is still beta software, so it might be rough around the edges. But if you're willing to put up with the occasional crash or dropped call, it's probably worth upgrading for the improved audio and video quality. Note that the image above was shot using a 0.3MP webcam and recorded over a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu 9.04, so there's a reason our screenshot doesn't exactly look stellar.
Skype 2.1 for Linux is available for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE.

I forgot to put a link in the body of the article. But if you click the "source" link or click on the picture both will take you to the Skype 2.1 for Linux page.

They have left out simple features from Skype for Linux - like hiding people who are not online.
