Comment 9 for bug 391945

Hi,

Thanks for the notes. Yes, I noted that there is a fix for the new
Ubuntu, but I am currently using Easy Peasy 1.1 Distro which advises
not to upgrade the Ubuntu OS. Further confusing is that everyone
seems to have a later version of Pidgin than is available to me. Mine
is 2.5.2, but the Updater shows it as the highest available to me on
this Distro. A Security patch was just released, and it was after
that that I was no longer able to connect, so I'm not sure where my
issue fits into the larger Yahoo server picture. I am running an
Asus Netbook 901. I also considered the latest Cruncheee as a
potential Distro, although I suppose the same issues would apply.
