Skype for Linux 2.1 Beta 2

Skype has announced a new beta for their Linux client. Linux doesn’t see many updates from them, but when they come out, they’re usually pretty significant. Of note in this release:

  • Screen Sharing
  • Quote a message in chat
  • UI Styling

There are apparently still some audio bugs in this otherwise nice Linux client. Let me know what you think.
