Mandriva to ship SkypeMandriva to ship SkypePosted Dec 21, 2005 20:10 UTC (Wed) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: Mandriva to ship Skype by fergal Parent article: Mandriva to ship Skype I actually don't see Skype version for my CPU. They only have an x86 version, but they don't say that explicitly on the download page. The requirements merely mention a "400 MHz" CPU. Sure, it's my choice to not run Skype in an emulator and not to use an x86 system as my primary workstation.

Mandriva to ship Skype Posted Dec 21, 2005 20:30 UTC (Wed) by fergal (subscriber, #602) [Link] That was not the original complaint anyway, I think there's an implied requirement that your computer be capable of running Mandriva 2006.
Anyway, read the original story, they didn't say "Skype is now accessible to everyone on the planet".
There are lots of reasons to criticise Skype and lots of people who cannot access it, all I'm saying is that <i>choosing</i> not to access it does not make it less accessible. Just like choosing only to shop at fair-trade shops doesn't make Exploito-mart less accessible, choosing not to eat meat does not make butchers less accessible etc etc
Mandriva to ship Skype Posted Dec 24, 2005 0:42 UTC (Sat) by Arker (guest, #14205) [Link] My PPC machine will run Mandriva 2006 but not skype. There is a lot more to Linux than Linux/x86, and Skype won't run on any of them. A point I notice was made to you several times, but you seem to not want to acknowledge.
The press release, however you cut it, is a pack of lies.
