[plug] Problems Mandrake 9.0 and Yahoo

[Quintin Lette]

Or try gaim, it works better for Yahoo! than Yahoo!'s own linux client.

I know redhat takes out alot of the options (haven't tried Mandrake) so you 
may or may not have to find a more original version. I use debian unstable 
and it comes with all of the clients you may need. (AIM/ICQ, TOC, Yahoo!, 
MSN, IRC, Jabber, Napster, Zephyr, Gadu-Gadu)

Don't expect video or voice chat though (they don't work with the Yahoo! 
client either.)

Good luck

Quintin
