Recently, I caught a whiff of a new rumor slash worry that Skype cannot be installed on the latest edition of Ubuntu, namely 13.04 Raring Ringtail. Moreover, some people specifically pointed out that Skype would not work on non-Unity flavors, like Xubuntu or such.

Well, I decided to check this rumor and verify if it's true. And if so, provide you with a workaround or three to how you can get Skype running. This will be a valuable lesson, as we will do a few rather geeky things, so stay with me. Now, commence.
