where do i have to go in order to download and configure an account for aim?

**kkubasik** · 08-12-2004

you can use gaim, kopete or AIM has a linux client, but it sucks. To register, i think you can figure it out, your a linux engineer, google AIM and its findable. AIM and linux will give you everything else.

i searched aol site but it's really mess..i didn't find where to set-up the account..is it free?

**kkubasik** · 08-12-2004

AIM is google aol instant messanger and you will be fine. or go to AOL's download page and they have the info for pickign a SN. Or if you install the client, it will regester a name for you.

ok i'll search again ...

Personally I prefer using Gaim over Kopete, however Kopete is also good.

Yes, an AIM account is free.

I must admit, I just checked the AIM site, and it is now a total mess. Not as clear or helpful as it was before. To get a screen name, just click this link and follow the information.

If above doesn't work, use this

Hope this helps.

It's usually better to start a new thread than revive a 2-year-old one, for the record.

There are a number of AIM clients out there that have been mentioned. I personally prefer Gaim (http://gaim.sourceforge.net), but there's also Kopete (which comes with KDE) and the official AIM client, the Linux version of which blows chunks, which is available at the AIM website.
