I used to use jabber for chats. But I don't find it in centos 5.7 anymore. Is it still around? Or has something else taken its place?
What do people using 5.7 use these days? Is there anything which handles MSN?
tia.
Pidgin is the IM client included in CentOS ... I think it supports MSN and Yahoo chats.
It supports 18 protocols, even facebook chat (plugin maybe)
Jabber is actually Google Talk/Jabber/XMPP protocol, just with different servers.
Thanks, guys. Pidgin works pretty good. It didn't list any jabber servers that I could see, at least not the one I used to use. I wanted to encrypt the connection both ways, which jabber did. And you have to create an account-- e.g., on ICQ or AOL-- separately. But that's okay. Got it going. It works fast, much faster and much less of a cpu load than chatting on facebook.
Thanks again.
