64bit Skype under Fedora is possible

Kudos to Joey Hess!

Skype.com does not provide a 64bit package for Fedora Linux, but you can make your own out of their Debian package.

For that you will need Alien program from http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/alien/ which converts among several distribution formats. Just run Alien on the DEB package and rpm -ivh the resulting RPM package and you are all set.

You can try that for other formats too.

UPDATE: Both 32 and 64bit versions of Skype Linux Beta have a bug, which causes the audio card settings page to forget the interface the input is set to. more...
