Hi,

I use skype under Linux/Gnome environment without problem, can you explain
more your problem ?
You come from Windows, so i'll ask to you, is is an install problem or when
using it ?

Tell us which distribution you use, maybe Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, lots
distribution permit to install it like any other software that you install
with your distribution.


Regards.
