I've got so far installing Skype but on checking the README file as the books suggest, I don't know how to string this lot together (see below) to make a decent command. Help gratefully received. (I mean I know copy is cp but beyond that I'm stuck).

I'd suggest grabbing the relevant package rather than the static/dynamic tarball.
There are .deb files for debian and ubuntu. There's rpms for Fedora and OpenSUSE.
Why are you using the static/dynamic download rather than just installing the package and having done?
Skype is available from the normal Ubuntu repositories isn't it? I.e. just search for it in Synaptic and install it (or apt-get it).
