It looks like Pidgen is only for Fedora. Am I wrong in thinking this?
Yep
. You can find Pidgin for any distro (it comes pre-installed on most). Instead of looking for it on the internet, just do this.
Open up a terminal and type
sudo apt-get install pidgin. Enter you password, and BAM!, Pidgin will install.
Edit: I see how you thought Pidgin was Fedora only. On their site, if you wanted to download it from them, you would need to download the source code. You then extract the archive to your disk, cd to the directory and run the installer. Here's an example. Say you download and extract the folder to your Desktop directory. Open a terminal, and the entire process would look like this.
CODE
cd Desktop/pidgin-folder-name
./configure
make
sudo make install

I even tried logging on as root even though I'm an admin.
