Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Yah. My friend is using Linux Mint, and needs the latest pidgin as it supports myspace im.
However, there are only rpms for this version, and converting from alien causes dependency problems. I think what it needs is 2.3's pidgin-data. I have tried to locate this, but so far, in vain.
Can i get some help? Is there a place that has 2.3 out in a .deb binary?
It's in the debian testing repositories. If you need a backported version (I have no idea how mint relates to debian) it's to be found at http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/misc-backports/ along with a lot of other things.
That ain't gonna work. There are so many dependencies. I tried to install it, it needs pidgin-data, so i install pidgin-data. Then i try to install pidgin again, it needs libpurple0, so i get libpurple0, but it needs nbr4 or something. Which isn't in the repo you gave me.
