[Lubuntu-desktop] Pidgin XChat
No point in having two applications doing the same thing so drop XChat. I don't like Pidgin so will install XChat for IRC. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Pidgin XChat
As per my earlier reply, poor little pidgin can do IRC. The question in this AIM / Yahoo! / MSN (and lots of other). Can X-Chat do that? Pidgin simply gives more options for new comers who have various other on-line accounts. Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Pidgin XChat
I just want to chime in here on the X-chat. I love X-chat and know how to install it. Some folks don't even know what irc is. I am fairly confident, Ubuntu Desktop does not install Xchat by default, why would Lubuntu have it part of the default install? My two cents.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Pidgin XChat
Agree with you. People all have their own favorite applications. For me I installed Google Chrome and removed chromium. I use emesene for MSN and Skype for VoIP. I use Pidgin for IRC only. I use geany for text editor and I'm not using Leafpad at all. After installing Lubuntu, the first thing I do is removing Abiword and installing LibreOffice. But we are talking about default applications. If you like something, just apt-get it, and there is no need to make it installed by default. The default for a distro should be sensible and less confusing for general users. If we like, there can be a meta-package named lubuntu-power-user-desktop, then you can even have eclipse as default editor + gimp as default image program if you want. lol On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 6:19 AM, Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com wrote: Le Saturday 18 June 2011 à 19:20 +0100, Yorvyk a écrit : No point in having two applications doing the same thing so drop XChat.

I, personally, find all chat programs to be useless fluff... but if I you MUST keep one, I would vote for whichever one is smallest. :) -- Todd Carnes toddcar...@gmail.com ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
