Hi

if you are using KDE try kicq at http://www.cn.ua/~denis/kde/kicq.html
doesn't do everything the windows version does but has the neat feature of
automatically popping the message window up when someone sends you a
message meaning you don't have to click on their name to receive it.

if not try Licq at
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/contrib/libc6/i386/licq-0.50-alpha-1-1.i386.html

or ICGnu http://www.azstarnet.com/~kennric/icgnu/index.html , I haven't
tried this one.

the java version of icq works well, but is slower on startup, uses more
memory because of the jdk, I just wish that mirabillis would hurry up and
get a X-Window version out.

hope this helps
