CrunchBang Linux

hi every1, take a moment to hear my despair! Imo just another one and a half year newbie in the linux world, and after having loved crunchbang for a short while, I figured out it was time for some more distrohopping. I chose archbang for that matter, despite the rather not that encouraging reputation of it in terms of newbie friendliness. After succesfully installing it (and understanding quite a bit of the installation options), I believed that was it. I am writing from it right now. That was what I believed until I figured out that I couldn't do such a thing as simple as install skype :\ Although the right repository was uncommented in the pacman conf file, the package manager would return: error: target not found: skype. I went onto asking for help on the archbang forums, but in the end of the registration form, the human-test had me See for yourself: 

What is the output of "date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?

I doubt that the forum guys want me to prove that I'm human, maybe it's the opposite they want instead. I conscripted my riddle solving skills and google, yet they were no match. So I ended up here seeking the ultimate answer 
thanks for wasting your time with me.

Hello every1. Haven't yet introduced myself but I think i'll be around for quite sometime since the first impressions of #! got me REALLY interested. I'm just a 1st year newbie in linux actually, having experienced a couple of other distros a bit. Anyway , let's get to the topic. I've been trying to install skype on 32bit Statler. I downloaded the Multiarch deb and tried to install it through terminal cause the GUI Package Installer displayed this error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-network (>= 4:4.8.0)

So, here are my commands and the results:

odys@crunchbang-desktop:~$ cd downloads
odys@crunchbang-desktop:~/downloads$ sudo dpkg -i skype-debian_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb
[sudo] password for odys:

dpkg: error processing skype (--install):

odys@crunchbang-desktop:~/downloads$ 

Well, it seems that the packages installed on my system are outdated, despite having successfully ran sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade prior to running the skype installation. I have also installed libqt4-core, libqt4-gui, libxss1, libxss1-dbg and libxss-dev as guided by this tutorial which actually refers to 64bit Statler:

I also tried installing skype through sudo dpkg -i and then installing it's dependencies with apt-get -f install, but the second command, instead of fetching the dependencies that skype needed, removed skype.

Hope i've covered what you need to know. Thanks in advance.
