Hi David, Way back i had done the same at our work and setup a Jabber server on an old Pentium. We were about 25 people using it with Pidgin client (different name at the time).
The new version today is jabberd 2.x , it seems to have changed alor and evolved since i last used it. Id say you have nothing to loose trying out jabberd with pidgin client for all your desktops.
