[nmglug] skype debian

[Brian O'Keefe]

You have no hardware issues Anthony and can easily install Skype. It 
doesn't matter desktop or laptop so don't concern yourself with that at 
all. You will have to register a microsoft account and password for it 
since Micro owns Skype.

Run the command in a terminal as the output you got stated. "sudo dpkg 
--add-architecture i386"  then run   "sudo apt-get update" (no ""s in 
the command though).

Go to the download page and download the .deb, 64 bit. Install with 
gdebi (which should pop up by itself). Then you'll have to go through 
the registration.

This is not difficult so just dive in.
