There is a software called amsn for linux which is exactly same as msn messenger.

~uNIx~ · Apr 13, 2005

i was trying different ways actually

also kopete KDE messenger is good for yahoo,msn,ICQ just like Trillian in windows

GAIM rocks. On Windows as well.

You guys have to remember that MSN Messenger is the only client that supports webcam sessions.

But amsn looks shitty just like Linux.
BTW are most of the features working for msn by wine.

Gaim is the best in linux... seems to work for all protocols

archish · Oct 9, 2005

Im using Center icq right now. I guess its the only text based messenger out there. Have to use it becoz we are not allowed to use messengers in our lab. N wen im chattin, sys admins think im coding.

I guess its the only text based messenger out there.

You have nAIM as well, although it does not support as many protocols as CenterICQ.
