Why for ubuntu 10.04? He has zorin7 (i.e. ubuntu 13.04). The correct download is the "12.04 multiarch".

Well each to their own - this is what I have on my website!

Having been on stallman.org I am ditching Skype in favour of registrarless jitsi (http://jitsi.org)

Facebook is a website and not an application!.
