indeed, and/or if you want another one there's amsn. i use both personally but as tocool4u says you can use gaim; in fact i've also setup gaim to run both msn and yahoo so i can have just gaim running both messengers from the one program

Couldn't get amsn to work on ubuntu or debian.. It works fine with suse and slackware. Seems like a dependency issue. Trillian works on all, but it's buggy and has (apparently) a few big security flaws.

I got aMSN working on Kubuntu and simplyMepis using synaptic (not sure if it's latest version).

@Janrocks
How are you running Trillian. using Wine? I love Trillian on my windows boot, would be great to have it on my Linux too :-)

I was running it in wine but I gave up on it because it took far too much ram and resources. I just use gaim now.

i found trillian too resource hungry too (and that was running it in in XP ie no wine involved); ditched it and went back to Msn Messenger (well 'til Live Messenger came along). i used Kopete for a while but thought it was a bit crap and went back to Amsn 0.95 and Gaim - they are really great programs (and seem quite lean on memory), i don't need anything else
