Pidgin for online communications...

In my corporate environment, I had a couple of choices to cross over all the various messaging and internal, secure chat rooms, as well as outside connection for occaisional things like PyCon IRC meetings.

I used several things, eventually settling, because of breadth of coverage in one place, on pidgin.

Fedora-11 seems to keep up-to-date with pidgin releases (it just updated me this past weekend), but Ubuntu does not - so I followed the instructions for adding the repository, as shown on http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/

So far, so good - my Ubuntu now stays up-to-date with pidgin, albeit straight from the pidgin sources. If I have problems, I'll have to post bugs directly to pidgin.
