Okay so the first thing someone will ask me when I am trying to convert them from Microsoft Windows to Linux is "what about MSN Messenger? there's no Linux version!" or something to that degree (ICQ, Yahoo!, AIM, etc).
Well my fellow newbies, I would like to introduce the solution to all these problems, it's a nifty program named 'Pidgin Messenger". Pidgin will let you chat with all your friends on AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, GoogleTalk, Group Wise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, Simple, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo!, and Zephyr.
Wanna know the best part? You can chat on all these protocols at the same time in a single window. Isn't tabbed-chatting the greatest? :P
So anyway, what about you go and grab it!
sudo apt-get install pidgin
Remember you need to have the "multiverse" repository enabled!
Good luck, and may the IM be with you!
