F7: Installing Skype the Easy Way

After installing Fedora 7 (F7) and tweaking the setup just the way I wanted I discovered a shocking easy way of setting Skype. All of the dependencies will be taken care of automatically. Create a file entitled /etc/yum.repos.d/skype.repo, with the following in it:
[skype]
name=Skype Repository
baseurl=http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/fedora/updates/i586/
gpgkey=http://www.skype.com/products/skype/linux/rpm-public-key.asc
Next, tell yum to update:
# yum install skype
