Suggestions appreciated

KDE's Kopete has had Yahoo IM support for quite some time. However,
I have not
used it in that fashion, nor do I have a camera to test its
relatively recent
video conferencing facility. AFAIK, video conferencing works with
MSN, not
sure about its support on other networks.

Kopete works with MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise, ICQ, IRC,
Jabber,
SMS, WinPopup protocol. Of course full feature support on some
networks may
not be possible depending on how open the protocol is and if it is
closed,
how well the reverse engineering effort is going. I would suggest
just giving
it a go.

In addition to Kopete, I suspect that you will find GAIM in the SLED
distribution. It was included in SUSE Linux 10.1. It definitely
supports the Yahoo! and AOL messenger products and the others
mentioned above.

However it doesn't have webcam support. I hate to say it but it's the one
thing that the proprietary IM tools have as an ace at the moment. This is one
of the things that is on the TODO list for Gaim, and Kopete. AMSN does have
some support for MSN webcams and has better support for MSN than most. Also
it has good themeing support.
