If you tell us more about the "problems" then maybe we can help you?
You can see the list of Distros supported by Skype here:
http://www.skype.com/en/download-sky...-for-computer/
Note that, just because a distro isn't on that list, doesn't mean Skype won't work.
Keep in mind Skype is not "open source" software; it is a closed-source, proprietary product of Microsoft Corp.
