I haven't been using the eeepc much so, its set up is still far from optimal...  I have however just figured out how to enable sound alerts in Pidgin... I know  you guys must be wondering, "Don't you just go to the  tools>preferences>sound menu and click on the enable sounds  checkbox???"... Well you guys forget that in linux, the experience is somewhat  different... Because in linux the above is not sufficient to enable the sound  alerts, what you have to do is set the "sound method" to "Command" and key in  the text "aplay %s" in the command box... I'll never take vista for granted  again...
