I registered for Skype so I can see my grandkids but can't get it to load. Any solutions out there? Thanks, Brick...

    Terminal, the command line.
    Where it's located will change on the distro that you are using.

    BrickG: Can you tell us what distribution of linux you're using?

    We'll try to talk you through getting skype working.

    I moved this thread to the Peripherals forum since that seemed more appropriate.

    BrickG: We need you to answer any questions we ask you as precisely as possible.

    What distribution of linux are you using? Fedora? Suse? Ubuntu? PCLinuxOS?
