Extras-testing is not necessarily harmful but it's not recommended that any user that's not familar with the n900's file system and troubleshooting. For example, files may install to the /root partition instead of /opt meaning your device will fill up with memory quickly and then you will keep getting out of memory issues since /root is on a tiny tiny partition.

Though if you really want too, you could install the telepathy-haze and telepathy-butterfly and then disable the repo. But again as I pointed out above, not all programs in extras-testing will necessarily install to /opt thus you will have to clean up the files yourself once those programs do go into extras.
can you explain how to get telepathy to use aol im

Like I said I don't have the n900, so my knowledge is based off what I've read here.

@MedellinCartel, I'm not sure if the telepathy plugins support AIM yet. They might.

@nirave, I don't know what's the specific difference between haze and butterfly. But I believe haze is for MySpaceIM and Facebook IM while butterfly is for MSN.

If you are using you N900, you are using Telepathy. It's what the messaging sub-system is built on top of. To add protocol, it's just a matter of creating a plugin and installing it. When you install the telepathy-plugin-butterfly, you N900 can do MSN. When you go to add a new Account, MSN will automatically be one of the account choices.

I would not suggest a someone new to Maemo to install it just yet. It;s in the Extras testing catalog so it should be promoted to Extras soon.
