Then why would you recommend installing pidgeon/pigdin?

The subject is: Gaim setup issues

For the OP/Chris: just install it and experiment. I'd provide more
detailed info, but I don't use it & my son who uses it extensively is
off firefighting in the Sierra mountains just now. However, I did manage
to set it up and get it working for him some time ago and a nurse for my
in-law. Seemed pretty self explanatory.
