I thought gaim was only for AOL messanger not msn 'apt-get update' just fetches an updated list of available packages, so that when you run any of the other apt commands, it's working off the latest listings. To actually fetch update packages and install them you'd use either apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade. The difference is in the logic the 2 commands use to pick the set of things to upgrade. dist-upgrade is allowed to install new packages to bring things up to date, 'upgrade' on its own will only install new versions of already installed packages. Gaim's biggest virtue is that it supports simultaneously connecting to multiple protocols and accounts. It can talk icq/aim, msn, jabber, yahoo, irc and others.

RE: [SLUG] Graphic tablet - 'found' driver ? need help understanding:)
Hi Ben, I've looked (VERY closely) at the mouse and tablet. There are no buttons of any form on the tablet and the pen buttons relate only to the buttons on a mouse (bugger). I'm not sure how to reset the factory settings - they seem to relate to something that Mandrake have installed. There is a file located: /lub/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/input/aiptek.ko.go I've not the vaguest idea of what it is and therefore haven't touched it (I steer clear of anything that has 'Kernel' in the line!).

(however this is resettable) Imagine a graphics tablet 4 feet high x 6 feet wide. (you can get them). If you had an absolute setting you would have to move the cursor/pointer 6 feet just to get the from one side of the monitor screen to the other side. Thats why you can set a small square the same size as the screen on a large tablet so that you don't have to move your pointer 6 feet every time. you move the pointer to that small square when you want to do something on the screen or move it away when tracing a map (for instance). you can even make that small square 2 x 2 to corrospond to the screen if you like and the pointer will cross the screen in two inches (if held within that square). Perhaps you could reset the tablet to factory settings and it may remove the 2 area (relative mode) and (if the tablet is an A4 or A3 tablet) you will end up in absolute mode with having to transverse the entire tablet to get across the screen but on a small tablet this should not be much of a problem.

You may need to dist-upgrade to a later version of Debian or force your Debian to install a later Gaim package. I believe there are ways to force Debian to install packages but this may have adverse affects on dependencies, hopefully a Slugger with more advanced Debian experience than I can offer some advice there (Palmer ? , Gray?) How do you update apt-get to get the lates updates? I've tryed apt-get update apt-get update simply updates the index of packages available from the sources specified in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. So, if any new packages are released and are relevant to your version of Debian or your sources.list file, then apt-get update will download those details. It doesn't upgrade/install any software or packages as such. It simply prepares your Debian for the next apt-get install or apt-get dist-upgrade you do. Doing apt-get install gaim after you do an apt-get update should install the latest version of Gaim for your Debian. Again, this will depend on your version of Debian or what sources you have listed in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Whilst Bluetooth specifications says it is class 2 (range of up to 10m) there are Bluetooth adaptors that are class 1 (range of up to 100m). Of course, there are Bluetooth devices that are class 3, like bluetooth enabled-mouse (keyboard).
