It's very important to make sure that the software you're installing on your system is authentic, and skype is the sort of program that's very high-profile and a likely target for malware immitations. Nevertheless, this recommendation is incorrect in the case of Ubuntu because Canonical has an engagement with Skype that allows us to ship the skype package in the Canonical Partner archive, and *unlike* downloads from the Skype website, downloads from the Canonical archive are cryptographically verified. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
