CrunchBang Linux

I tried to install Skype, but I am having trouble. I added the i386 architecture, added the Debian testing branch to /etc/apt/sources.list, did an apt-get update, and then I tried to install Skype using the package provided on their website. The install failed, an I ran "sudo apt-get -f install". Skype then installed successfully, but that is where the real trouble began. I couldn't run the Skype command because the file or directory did not exist. I did another "apt-get -f install", and then things got even worse. After that, I noticed I was unable to open the volume settings. Then I rebooted. I was able to login, and Openbox started, but the commands in charge of starting Wi-Fi, Tint2, the Openbox menus, and Conky were all broken. More was probably broken, but I couldn't immediately tell. The weird thing is that I did the exact same thing on my laptop, and everything worked perfectly. I'm not necessarily seeing if I can fix this install, but rather I want to know how to install Skype, and where I went wrong. I apologize for this wall of text. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I'm Elephant454. I am new to CrunchBang, and pretty new to Linux in general. Let me see here... I am 16 and I live in California. I am a diehard fan of Valve software, a brony, and I enjoy drinking tea. I look forward to meeting each of you and learning a lot.
