You can even call landlines and mobile phones at really cheap per minute rates (and there’s no setup or subscription fee).

    Note that Skype for Linux currently does not support any cool Skype features such as video calls, Skype SMS nor and have poor support for Skype Voice-mail.

    Nice guide, by the way. :)
