AMSN is quite a good client, but on my linux box (slackware) i use miranda (windows software) in wine.

erm, i would only really suggest amsn & gaim, i use gaim myself, great if you spend the time to tidy it up and personalise it
infact, once theyve got webcam and sound setup for msn in gaim, ill use it in windows too :P

erm i use gaim atm...comes with linspire...tis ok but i dont think u can send files or see erm display pics etc.... how the hell do i erm install theses progs???tis v complicated for a windows user so a easy to understand guide would be usefull.
cheers:D
I have slackware on my comp and I use Amsn, which I think it's very nice! :). And I really like the tux/linux-skin on it. The tux - pinguin it's so cute! :D Well, back to the point..amsn has worked very fine with me, it's like running the windows version, it's quite as simple..and it has a lot of new emoticons :P.
gaim 0.79 and above (if memory serves) have full user image & msn file transfer support. 0.81 is current.Quote:
