Actually, you can. There IS an offical AOL IM client for linux:

There are even Debian-specific installation instructions.
I did that and that is how I got into the situation I was in. I tried to
1) Click the deb for Debian 3 or higher
2) Garbage came up on the screen
3) Did Save Page As... and saved it
4) Did (as root) dpkg -i <packagename.deb>
5) Got errors stating it was not a binary package so it wouldn't work.
Then I did what it also suggested if I had problems by right clicking it
and came up with a file linker.js NOT the .deb file as I thought I would
get.
Thanks
