Gaim 1.0.1 ubuntu deb package

[ubuntu-geek]

Was bored and wanted the new gaim. Here is the package if anyone wants it.

Was built on a P4, Ubuntu 4.10 RC..

To install:

sudo dpkg -i gaim_1.0.1-2_i386.deb

I wonder if Skype could be used in ubuntu?

I like Skype and used it in Fedora... but it comes in RPM's.
Can ubuntu utilize RPM's?

Thanks!!

try this:

wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-fc2

sudo alien -d skype-0.92.0.2-fc2.i386.rpm

sudo dpkg -i skype_0.92.0.2-1_i386.deb

note: I had to install some qt stuff to get it to work

sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev

seemed to do the trick
