Hi all,
You can add the skype repository in Ubuntu:
System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Third party software
Click on 'Add'
in URI add 'http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/
Distribution: stable
components: non-free
This will ensure that you always get the latest updates too.
Or:

For fedora - there is something called 'easylife'.
