What Is Gfire

Gfire is an open-source plugin for the Pidgin Instant Messenger client. It allows users to connect to the Xfire Gaming network and chat to your friends. Gfire is mainly for Linux users to be able to connect to the Xfire network (since there isn't a native Linux client), but Windows users can use the Plugin as well.
