clyde drexler spake unto us the following wisdom: > What are the minimum system requirements for Pidgin? > Can I install and run it with Mac OS 10.3.9?
You can, but it will require Apple's X11 server (or an alternative)
and a pile of dependencies that you probably don't have.
> Also, what is the difference between Pidgin and Adium?
Pidgin and Adium are both IM clients which use libpurple, a library
which takes care of the actual communication with IM services. Pidgin
is written to use the Gtk+ toolkit, a windowing toolkit born and bred
on X11 systems. Adium was written to use the Cocoa interface toolkit,
which is native to Mac OS X. You probably want Adium. :-)
