Configure Linux to Work with Skype

I’ll assume that because you’re a Linux Journal reader, getting Fedora Core 3 up and running on your Skype server is a no-brainer. The only important thing to remember is that Skype is a Qt application (though it’s also available in a version with Qt statically linked), and the Skype API uses D-BUS. Also, disable the screensaver (after all, there won’t be any screen to “save”) and power standby features as these may interfere with Skype.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting up Linux to work with Skype (it assumes you have set up a Linux user account named skype for the purpose):
