Unfortunately edgy ships with a bonjour disabled gaim2 beta. So one has to compile gaim on his own:

just do

apt-get source gaim
apt-get build-dep gaim
apt-get install libavahi-compat-howl-dev
cd gaim-2.0.0+beta3.1
dpkg-buildpackage (as root)
dpkg -i gaim_2.0.0+beta3.1-1ubuntu9_i386.deb
gaim-data_2.0.0+beta3.1-1ubuntu9_all.deb


Then your gaim has bonjour support... :) To use it you have to add a new bonjour account.
