i use AIM lite. no bullshit.
Ah yeah I remember using it in Ubuntu, seemed pretty snazzy
Same here. Too bad they haven't updated it in forever. The file sending works perfectly and the interface is slick.
AIM Lite
But seriously, bitlbee. I do all of my instant messaging, chat, and even sometimes web browsing through Putty on a Screen instance running on a remote linux machine, it's awesome.
i still use an old ass version of AIM with deadAIM
o...k...
pidgin is the newer version of gaim
they changed the name because AIM is copyrighted by aol (i think)
