would have been better if pidgin was supplied as an important update through update manager.

It runs great for me too. Much better interface than Gaim 2 betas that I was using. Mercifully, it finally connects to XMPP protocol too.

I downloaded the deb file. Right click. By default, it should say “install package by using GDebi file manager”. It would download the required dependencies on it’s own. It also imports the contacts and the required information from Gaim if already installed.

Cool stuff. No sweat at all. No complicated terminal stuff indeed. This is the true power of Ubuntu linux by making it totally hassle free. Of course, it’s becoming as easy as using exe files in Windows; though you need to assign user priveleges to the installation.

Your take on it?

I would have compiled it from source.
