This tutorial will outline how to install Gaim 2.0beta3.1 plus Off-The-Record 3.0.0 on Ubuntu Dapper v6.06. I had been one of the early adopters of Gaim 2.0beta3 but had trouble finding support for the encryption plugins that I was used to.

I remember at that point I could load RSS feeds, but now I can’t find that option/feature anywhere. I was told it was an optional plugin at this point? If anyone can… Read More »

If any of you SUSE people want to drop by with some comments (read: instructions on how to use it) I’d appreciate. So far my opinion on suse (mainly with YaST): This sucks.
