Ubuntu I'm guessing?

Just search in the software center dude. It's there. Well, it was last time I checked.

then google it, you have to use the terminal to install it manually, the problem usually occur if you are using Ubuntu.

but a manual install from terminal will do the trick.

All you need to do is go to the Skype website and click on downloads and at the bottom of the page you will see "Skype for Linux"

I'd recommend virtual boxing it. A lot more stable on windows, Skype is.
