Hi Bodyrot,

would that be windows software that you are trying to install? And are you aware of the existence of synaptic package manager (System > Admin > Synaptic), a program that makes installing software as easy as a few simply clicks?

No i used wine for exe's and also synaptic didn't have skype(that I seen).Also Like the beryl and the icon gadget things wouldn't install.BTW I'm not a nub just for some reason Linux doesn't like me. Lol thanks for addressing that though.

To install skype, you need to set up the medibuntu repository.
