Skype is not available in the default configured repositories of Ubuntu so an alternate is downloading a deb package from skype and installing it but as i am an apt-get fan i would recommend adding the repositories listed below and then using
# sudo apt-get install skype
But you need to Add a Repository using the commands below before using apt-get if there is no command listed for your distro goto Medibuntu
wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d medibuntu.list
Installing majority of softwares on Ubutu is just a like away same is the case with PostgreSQL
Installing PostgreSQL (8.3)
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
Setting the password for the postgres user
$ sudo -u postgres psql template1
ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'password-u-need';
\q
this installs and configues the password for the postgreSQL
is this not easy with ubuntu
and yes if you need to use postgreSQL with PHP on your apache server the install the php5-pgsql module using the following
$ sudo apt-get install php5-pgsql
