I was looking for an easy way to install Pidgin Instant Messenger on Feisty (since it’s not in the repositories) and found a site that has recent Pidgin .DEB’s available for download.

You can get them here.

Click the folder for the newest version, download the file, and double click to install.

“We pulled a bad drive apart at work this afternoon. It had a nasty rattle to it before we opened it, but we didn’t expect this:”

If you want to install Windows XP on your Gateway MT3418 laptop instead of Vista, you can use the drivers from the Gateway MX3417 laptop.  They’re the same machines, only the MT3418 came with Vista and the MX3714 came with XP.   I successfully installed the MX3417 drivers on my MT3418, and XP is running smoothly.

Here’s a link to the driver page on Gateway’s site.
