  1. (for the system i386 tutorial)
    this worked great for me, but for those who know little of linux and installing programs, the newest version of skype for linux (debian) is called "skype-debian_4.2.0.13-1_i386.deb" so instead of running
    "sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-lucid_4*.deb"

    run "sudo dpkg -i skype-debian_4.2.0.13-1_i386.deb"
    (because debian_4.2.0.13-1_i386 is the name of the file you downloaded and you do not have skype-ubuntu-lucid_4*.deb on your system)
    so yea, this tutorial works wonders but you need to change the name of the file you install.
    hope this helps! :)
