MSN Messenger on Linux

(1/5) > >>

Lord C:
So ok, you got rid of Windoze and all your M$ software, but all your firends are still using MSN Messenger - I had this problem, i couldnt find a decent msn messenger client for Linux.

Here's a list of some i use now.
GAIM - Comes with Mandrake, simple, ugly, no file sending

Everybudy - Also come with Mandrake, even uglier then GAIM, but it does support file sending.

Kmerlin - Download from SorceForge. Looks smart, is wicked. Full functionability, ie uyou can send files and it even has the groups/tabs like the new msn messenger versions. Worth Getting.

Doogee:
use gaim. the new version (0.61) has everything you want, multiple protocols, file sending/receiving, a slick gtk2 interface.


http://gaim.sf.net

Calum:
yep, aim kicks botty. but if you want a program that is a real msn lookalike, get amsn from amsn.sourceforge.net (i recommend gaim over it though, gaim is a lot more versatile).

Lord C:
noo0o0o, not amsn! lolz!

I forgot to mention this one - i tired it first, and it sucks!

It looks like msn, and certainyl acts like it !

PS: it cant run without terminal

You know Kmerlin iwns  ;)  lolz

The new Gaim needs more downloads too :/

GTK2 for one

emh:
Get the source RPM and rebuild it.  GTK 2 is there on Mandrake, just that the way the regular RPM looks for it, it doesn't find it for some reason.
