[Klug-general] HELP FROM SOMEONE - PLEASE

[PatRichardson at aol.com]

After a lifetime of all our company team working with MS Windows/Office  
etc, I have put a toe in the Linux ocean and bought a mini laptop running 
Linux.  As a trial, we're off on a three week business trip to the US armed with 
nothing  more. So far, I'm thrilled but there is one gap in our 
capabilities when  travelling without my normal laptop running Windows. 
 
I need voice communication: ideally Skype. Since there doesn't seem to  be 
Skype for Linux, their site offers a range of third party programmes. I've  
downoaded two of these but can't make either work.
 
If they have to be written off, is there any other programmes that anyone  
knows that would enable us to access Skype, or any other Voip, and have  
voice/video communication with our colleagues and family while travelling 
abroad  with a Linux computer.
 
Any help would be VERY much appreciated.
