In the section for CentOS-5, it would be nice if the following alternative method for running Skype on CentOS-5 were presented: You can download a statically linked version of Skype which will work in CentOS-5 from http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.1.047.tar.bz2 I think it's a little bit silly that the first recommendation for running skype on CentOS-5 is to install a new version of libstdc++! Hopefully the version I've linked to will remain available directly through skype's homepage, and if not, some public mirror will arise. If you want me to change this directly, my login is JohnFettig. I would be happy if e.g. Akemi Yagi (amyagi at gmail.com) would add this info. John

I have a copy of it and could upload it someplace, but I'm guessing the skype license doesn't allow redistribution. So maybe another edit is required. John
