That looks like the version from Debian stable. You can either search around for a 'backport' of the latest gaim to work with your system, or just upgrade your whole system. Despite the name, 'unstable' really is quite stable, and has the latest stuff to boot. > How do you update apt-get to get the lates updates? > I've tryed apt-get update The 10 second guide to updating is 1) edit /etc/apt/sources.list to just have two lines something like deb ftp://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib (change the mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au to a mirror that is closer to you; your isp's if they have one otherwise ftp.au.debian.org is a safe bet) 2) run apt-get update 3) run apt-get dist-upgrade 4) wait (it will need to download a lot) Good luck, -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au
