Yes, I have been using Skype with Debian Testing and Sid for the last some years. Works perfectly. I have tried both, the deb as well as the static binary. Both work wonderfully (though I have keep the path in mind in the static case). The only quirk you may face is the how get audio working. The solution is straightforward: just select the right device for mic, phones and system alerts from Options->Preferences->Sound devices and all will work. Just make sure you do not let skype use "pulse" if you are using PulseAudio, I could not make it work with PA. I have also recently used Logitech Quickcam pro 9000 webcam with skype. Works wonderfully, just plug and play. Regards. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
