I've been following the various suggestions come from this list about the possibilities Linux offers to chat: my family want to use `messenger' and ICQ, and before resigning myself to use MS Windows I wanted to check all the possibilities.
My impression is that `gaim' manages to use the MSN protocol quite fine, whereas for ICQ, nor `licq' neither `centericq' neither `gabber' (through jabber network) can satisfactorily replace the richness of original ICQ for MS Windows. They only allow the mere IM function but don't really allow (as far as I saw) wide users search or multiple chat. So I'll have to use MS Windows, although I wouldn't like. If anybody has a different experience, i.e. finds that licq, or any other application can perform those functions just or almost just as the original does - and this means that I didn't manage to use them properly - please let me know, I'll be glad to have been wrong.
