>Hi all, >Once I get my Linux box on line, I was wondering which would be the better alternative for instant messaging, center icq or imcom. Without question imcom! It supports the msn protocol and all of the other messaging protocols through jabber's gateways and the interface is very good. Centericq is somewhat awkward by comparison in my opinion. You only need Python and expat installed for imcom to work. Readline is also required but you probably already have that but install the -dev package for readline if you are going to build imcom from source.
