That’s a lot of P’s!

After months of using (and really liking) the purple plugin pack for pidgin on my Windows machine, I wanted to get it working on my Linux machine as well.

HP Laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 x64 fully up-to-date (2.6.31-17-generic)
Pidgin version 2.6.2

All I did was:
sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack

Then all of the plugins were installed – I just had to activate them.
