 * It's possible that gtkpod can corrupt the information on your iPod, forcing a reset. Do you have backups of your music?


 * How do i use Gaim? (Adoption FAQ from Ali)
 * Gaim is now known as Pidgin. "It should just work!" you'll need an account on an instant messaging service like GTalk, Yahoo or AIM. If you don't have an account on any of these services, Pidgin should be able to help you sign up for one. If you have friends you want to talk to using instant messaging, ask them what service they use!
