Thank you for the installation help.
I have a new problem with the yum command that doesn't seem to work anymore, with recurrent checksum error. Even after yum clean all and also manually mv /var/cache/yum/* /tmp.
Well I would like to know if some of you already experienced this and solved it.

Thanks very much for answering so fast! I can understand that you don´t understand very well what I said.To start with I´m spanish and English is not my mother tongue and at the same time computers are not my friends.I´ll try what you said. I have to say that I´m not confident at all about this! Thanks again for your time and kindness.

Miren: I'm not sure what you mean. If you installed it successfully, you should be able to run it via Alt+F2, and typing in skype. Concerning adding item to desktop see link in october's comment, it's matter of modyfying xml file.

By the way, since january my wife's AAO doesn't have Linpus installed anymore, it uses linux4one href=„http://www.linux4one.it/“ rel=„nofollow“>http://www.linux4one.it/. Though it's not as fast to boot as Linpus, and sometimes have issues with flash sound, it is standard ubuntu, which is much easier for me to maintain, and ubuntu launcher is just beautiful, and all packages one needs are in standard package manager.

mpierrat25: Why would you like to fix it? Pidgin can work with any IM protocol you might need…

If you're missing an option to launch it directly from desktop, please follow this thread about modifying the icons:
