Running Elementary OS ,which is based on Ubuntu...Can't get me Na,na,na!!!!!
I'm running High OS, so eat it

I just sent this to my Skype contacts, and now it's showing that yellow sign thing. I'm running Fedora 21, but I'm pretty sure I broke my own Skype.
EDIT: False alarm...?
You sent it to your contacts?!? You evil bastard ;D
