| NthDegree | lol |
| prakash007 | lol everyone here eagerly waiting for centos5 |
| NthDegree | I am |
| prakash007 | that tells the popularity of the distro itself |
| NthDegree | i'm on the BETA and i'm pissed off with constant gaim crashes >.> |
| prakash007 | in centos5 is it gaim or it's now pidgin? |
| cemc | NthDegree: which version ? |
| nopzolder | prakash007: guess that that was the last minute bugfix |
| lang72 | prakash007: It was just renames so I guess RHEL5 did not manage to look into the future |
| action | dowdle notes that Kopete is pretty good. |
| dowdle | notes that Kopete is pretty good. |
| NthDegree | CentOS 4.92 (gaim 2.0.0-0.17.beta4.el5) that's the version info |
| cemc | do you use some fancy plugin? :) |
| NthDegree | nope |
| prakash007 | lang72, el5 came very earlier. i guess guys at RH were not aware about the name change or the popular AOL settlement going on |
| NthDegree | what name change? |
| lang72 | prakash007: Centos5 tends to follow RHEL. That is the whole idea of Centos as I see it |
| cemc | gaim -> pidgin |
| NthDegree | O_O that's majorly recent |
| prakash007 | exactly. i believe too see gaim as gaim in centos5 |
| lang72 | prakash007: Binary compatible with RHEL5 for third party applications |
| cemc | i think one day you run a 'yum update', and it's gonna be pidgin :) |
| prakash007 | even the coming version of ubuntu plans to have gaim by the same name not pidgin |
| cemc | or in 5.1 :) NthDegree: i never had problems with gaim, beta4,5,6. i'm using fc6 with windowmaker |
| prakash007 | whatever it is. i have seen in el5 server they don't ship gaim. maybe in the other versions they have. same will go for centos5 advance server |
| NthDegree | cemc, do you use MSN with it? |
| cemc | but on this same desktop, when run with gnome, it did crash a lot, it just disappeared |
| NthDegree | cemc, this is what happens to me |
| cemc | i'm connected to msn with it but i dont have much buddies there |
| prakash007 | no openoffice, no evolution and no gaim in el5 server i saw. |
| cemc | so i dont talk a lot there but i have gtalk, jabber, icq, yahoo (and msn) |
| NthDegree | prakash007, CentOS offers the lot methinks |
| cemc | in total of ~300 buddies |
