HOWTO: Install Skype on 64-bit Ubuntu (2)

I forget to write a solution for some older Ubuntu Systems.

If you use Gutsy (7.10), Feisty (7.04), and Edgy (6.10) please use the code below:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2; wget -N boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb; wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu; sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb; sudo dpkg -i --force-all skype-install.deb; sudo getlibs /usr/bin/skype

In both cases you install a Skype 2.x witch also support webcams
