Thank you so much for this summary, you've answered a question that's been niggling away at me for ages too and never got to ask the question. GA! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl Homiak" <chomiak@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 8:03 PM Subject: msn options Well, here are the ratings: centericq: screens gave me problems but maybe I would get used to it as I know a lot of people like it. Pebrot: better, but still a bit more than i wanted. bitlbee: couldn't figure out how i was supposed to connect my chat client to its port; also would have had to do a different config directory as I can't write to /var/lib/bitlbee; yes, I know there would be ways to do this. msnlib: this was suggested by somebody who read the message over nntp. For me, this one wins the prize, although I realize it's a matter of personal preference. True, not a lot of information there at a glance, but no messy screens, no extra info, no trying to figure out what you are doing in the middle of a chat. Just nice, simple, straightforward, glorious TEXT! -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
