None of my distros will connect to gaim anymore.

I don't know whats going on

but Pidgin seems to be the successor of Gaim

Pidgin 2.0 hasn't been released yet, Pidgin 2.0 is the successor to Gaim 1.5...
The new version is proposed to have many enhancements, and to be released fairly soon.

I also have connection problems with Gaim, and will use Kopete until the release of Pidgin 2.0.

Hi bef,
I hope Pidgin is released soon
I can't get Kopete, is it in the repos
Pacman won't bring it down.
cheers

Kopete is definately in the Ubuntu repositories...

I'm fairly sure that my connection issue is not Gaim but a MoBlock issue, so I'll tinker.

sorry,stupid me.
I was thinking of Arch LInux
Yes I tried Kopete in Mint and I can't get it to connect.
I'll mess with it some more later. Maybe I have wrong pasword.

I just downloaded the Pidgin autopackage from the official site, and it works ok

pidgin is nice, must say i dont like the new menu icon they supply, the new tango status icons etc are much better though.
