As most know Skype now lets you call US and Canada phone lines and cell phones free of charge this can be done on Windows easilly but I've been having some issues doing so on their Linux version has anyone else?

a friend of mine has SUSE linux and i installed Skype on his Compaq P3 500 Mhz.

It was okay, except for Linux didnt have the right audio drivers, so it sounded choppy. Otherwise worked fine.

Works alright for me, although it does take a very long time to start up (maybe a minute). Other than that, it works great. What is wrong with it for you?
