Until I found this one, quick and easy setup. Thanks, guys.

[...] install the Skype repository. Open a terminal and type:

su -c 'gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/skype.repo'

In that file copy the following lines:

[skype]
name=Skype Repository
baseurl=http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/fedora/updates/i586/
enabled=1
gpgkey=http://www.skype.com/products/skype/linux/rpm-public-key.asc
gpgcheck=0

Now you can easily install/update skype by typing:

su -c 'yum install skype'
su -c 'yum update skype'
