Your 2 main choices for MSN at the moment are gaim and aMSN. Gaim i know
is working ATM but aMSN i am not to sure about, as Microsofts new
version of the protocol introduced a new authentication method which
really hit the Linux msn users.
Gaim is my personal favorite, i cannot stand the fact that aMSN is
written inb tk (looks so dodge). But i do credit the author for his work
on it as he really has made it look and feel alot like the microsoft MSN
client.
I used one called Merlin i think in KDE before...try looking into that
one if aMSN fails you.
Owww, last minute idea:
http://kmess.sourceforge.net/
Looks real nice, ive never used it but i think i may have to now :P
