Since we are talking Ubuntu, this is **NOT** good practice, but if for some reasons the static package from skype doesn't work for you, you can grab the medibuntu x86-64 packages. They've been working fine here for ages. Use Hardy packages if on Lenny, Jaunty on anything else. http://packages.medibuntu.org/ I use "skype-common" and "skype-static" or "skype" packages, they both work for me. On amd64 you'll need ia32libs and lib32nss-mdns. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Maybe today. However, "su" existed long before "sudo" and is the canonical way to execute commands as root. I don't use "su"; my root user account is locked and I use "sudo" exclusively, on Debian. I used it on Gentoo first (not installed by default), then Debian (not installed by default), then Ubuntu (installed by default, but I still had to configure it), then openSUSE (not installed by default, and my root account can't be locked because my YaST don't know how to ask for root permissions via sudo). While calling the use of "sudo" an Ubuntu influence is jumping to conclusions, many "old-skool" UNIX and Linux users are surprised at the mention of "sudo" since they expect commands needing root to "simply" be executed at a root prompt.
