gaim 0.75

[Olaf Olson]

Thanks, Matthias.

Before I asked the question that was foremost in my mind, "How do I use 
the link to install GAIM 0.75," I decided to check out the link 
http://ayo.freshrpms.net.

That link is timing out, without connecting. I connected to 
freshrpms.net, but clicking the YellowDog link results in no connection. 
I'm guessing it's only a temporary thing and it will eventually be up 
again. Will there be enough instructions there that a newbie can figure 
out what to do, or will I be contacting you again for more advice?

I'm UNIX literate, having worked with HP, Sun, and SGI off and on for 
the past 20 years, but this is my first foray into Linux and I have 
never done much in the way of compiling or replacing kernels, except via 
proprietary software on each of the platforms. I suspect that many of 
the tools being discussed here do what those did and it's only a matter 
of time to find out how they work. It's still slow, though.

Anyway, I'll check back and see when it's running again.

Thanks

Olaf
