Ubuntu!

I just looked over PCLOS's website. I like their upgrade philosophy better than UBUNTU's.
Continuous long term upgrades vs. version replacement.

Just installed PCLOS at work. It will take me a long time to get it loaded and configured with all the apps I run: VMware, Apache, security stuff, graphics, etc., but I'm liking it better already.

okay, here's an ubuntu question ...

while I can do this manually, I'm looking for what the "official" or "ubuntu" way to do this.

I've downloaded skype for linux and want to install it, but I can't seem to make the synaptics package manager work with the download (can't point to a local repository). Does anyone know where the official "how to install" docs for skype on linux are located?

I'm spending a few weeks mostly in linux as I do a security analysis of the openssl library, which so far seems quite good. I was using cscope in cygwin under Vista, but it is more convenient to do this under Linux. Since I skype herf a lot, I need skype or I'll have to use different systems for the analysis and skype.

Somehow, having two laptops on the patio while smoking a nice stick seems so like me, but I like to avoid cliches
