I personally prefer gAIM over _any_ other Linux AIM client. I have tried
most of the others including EveryBuddy (which does multiple protocols
like gaim does) and I don't like any of them but gAIM. If it doesn't
work on your box, have you tried compiling it yourself? I run the cvs
and it always compiles fine and works. Why doesn't it work on your box?
Kernel too old?
