Gaim is for linux users. http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ When you do the ad ons you can do ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, IRC and many others. It even has a spell checker! It's also more secure than windows AIM. Another plus is you can change the names of your contacts on your list. As well as have all the chat windows in one instead of loads of IM windows. It's easy to use. OH and... another advantage is it has icons like AIM4.8 where you can see mobile users, well like that IM warning topic Jeff posted, if a user is really IS an AOL ADMIN it shows on the icon. No tricks there.

Plus on openprojects.net there is even help for users.

I have a friend who uses this app. and he enjoys using it. (Ive never tried it) but he did note that the file transfer is no good--just a draw back I guess.

That may be unique to your friends setup, I have no problem with it.
