skype

Don't know anything about the aspire one, but is it not debian based? so has apt-get, if it does then just do:
sudo apt-get install skype
Otherwise I don't know

The Acer uses Linpus Linux afaik, this is fedora based. Therefore you need the rpm's :)

Thanks for that much apreciated..a steep learning curve Linux :eek:


was also just looking in add and remove and it has Gnome listed can I switch to that instead of XFCE ?and would this be a good thing to do any loss of functions programs etc if I do ?
 
You might find gnome slightly more intuitive (arguabl), although XFCE runs faster. You wouldn't loose any functionality anyhow.

Keep in mind that you can install more than one desktop manager, at login you should have the option allowing you to choose with one you'd like to use for that session.

hmm tried that wont install for some reason I will just stick with XFCE would be nice if I could get the Compiz effects to stay activated after reboot ??
 
I haven't looked into it, but you could create a script to set the effects to start automatically when you login (for example).

There should be plenty of info about that on google.
