Ubuntu help

google is better than me :<

You can't install xFire on ubuntu, unless you use the gfire plugin.

Are you using Gfire?? It's pretty much just click the deb file... lol

you can also use a Pidgin, it have xfire plugin. Im using it on my linux

Basically, to install a program on ubuntu, you just have to go in your menu -> download manager (or something like that) and to look for your program there ;)

But if you can't find it in the depots, then search for a .deb and launch it... But I don't think there is any decent alternative to xfire on linux.

EDIT : you CAN'T install a .exe on linux ! Well, you can, but you would need some program named wine, and it's not 100% efficient.

You'd better be a troll.

Download pidgin. Theres own client for Xfire ... msn ... icq .

To install things that are in the repos:
sudo apt-get install <name of app>
or use the download manager
or download the .deb file if its not in the repo
or download the source and compile for yourself
