After fight with skype on Linux for one day, I can talk with someone else over skype.
Add source in /etc/apt/source.list
deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
sudo apt-get install skype
Then, I can log in and chat over skype however, the skype doesn't work well with mic. After a long time googling,

This fix the problem of voice.
After googling, I found a simple way to use proxy, and twhirl works for me every well, except a little slow.
HTTP_PROXY=xxx.xxx HTTP_PORT=80 ~/twhirl/bin/twhirl
Suffering by krfb for a long time, especially very painful when I connect remote machine in office at home.
Got some recommendation on x11vnc, which is more efficient than krfb, and easy to install.
Install it on my remote machine, CentOS 5.2,
yum -y install x11vnc
,and start x11vnc on remote machine,
x11vnc -nap -bg -many -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -desktop "VNC ${USER}@${HOSTNAME}"
,connect remote machine via vncviewer. It is very fast.
