Skype 2 Beta on the eee supports video calling

I'm not the first to post this, but hey, the more the merrier....

If you want to try video calling on the eee, download the Xebian skype 2 package from skype.com. Install it with:

sudo dpkg -i [PackagePath]

Activate the on board camera with:

echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera

Then configure Skype to use the detected camera and you should be good to go.

Ultramobilegeek and JKOnTheRun seemed to have a few stability issues, but I have used this for hours on end with no problem at all!
