Hi everybody
As a newbie I just started IM with Ubuntu and Skype.
To get my old ICQ contacts reactivated I started with Pidgin, 
since my Ubuntu 7.10 lists Pidgin under Applications !

What are facts or reasons to choose Gaim over Pidgin ? 
Or perhaps opposite ??

Your opinions and suggestions are very appreciated. ;-)

TIA and cheers, svobi
