As far as i know Medibuntu repos has Skype in it and for the most part
those repos are safest place to get packages outside of Ubuntu official
repos. This is not in everyones opinion but as long as i have been
around that seems to give the least amount of issues.
Website is http://www.medibuntu.org/
You can find a How-To at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu.
As for the rest of the media talk im sure the packages you want or
simular can be found there. I personally only used Medibuntu repos in
Feisty or Gutsy <dont remember exactly since i use devel version on same
PC as latest stable. Here is a list of all the packages in those repos
http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/
