Red Hat This may not be of much use to those of you who dread text based installs, and those in the know, but a bit of useful information I came across when I installed Red Hat Linux 9 recently.

You mentioned some issues with Trillian. Is that a multi-standard instand messaging app?
If that's true, try Gaim. It comes with RH 9, and it works quite well with ICQ, AIM/AOL, MSN and Yahoo (ICQ and AOL became the same protocol recently, so you must use the same Gaim module for both).

If you wish, you can get a newer, significantly improved version of it from here:

http://freshrpms.net/

Freshrpms also has many neat packages built specifically for Red Hat. If one of those packages requires something else to be installed previously (has a "dependecy"), that dependency is always solved either by another Freshrpms package or by a package in the Red Hat installer CD.
If you go ahead and do it "the Freshrpms way" and install apt, then the dependency issues will disappear (apt takes care of all dependencies for you).
