It just came back a couple weeks ago. I don't believe Luke is maintaining it anymore, though. I installed the packages today, so we'll have to see how it goes (no custom kernel, yet -- guess I'll have to do that part myself). All in all, it's easy as easy to install a Linux-based media workstation as manually adding packages as per your distro's method. But there is a learning curve behind the software that you install. Especially things like getting good realtime performance using JACK and using Ardour effectively. But the ability to capture Skype streams in Linux using other software is definitely available (classic lame attempt at bring the thread back to the original subject).
