Go here:

http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp

Download the correct package for you system, RPM for Fedora, Red Hat,
CentOS, deb for Debian, Ubuntu, and Knoppix.  The install accordingly.

dpkg -i aim_1.5.286-1_i386.deb

or

rpm -i aim-1.5.286-1.i386.rpm

You should be off and running.  I personally use Gaim, mostly because
it has run so well for so long on Linux, and it supports all the other
IM accounts I have.

HTH,

Mark
