Yeah, I found it odd.  Also, distro choices are old versions, eg.
    Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Debian 7.0, Fedora 16, OpenSUSU 12.1
And, it requires Qt, which means Kubuntu.

I'm running 64-bit Slackware, and it's 64-bit only.  So, not only do I
need webcam/mic, but also a 32-bit machine. :-(

Has anyone tried Skype from VM (VirtualBox or Qemu)?
