I've just started using Linux (SUSE) on my laptop for university work, does anybody know of a good messenger program to use on it? All it needs to be able to handle are MSN contacts, I've seen several on the web but some of them look a little dodgy or underdeveloped.
Thanks

I believe GAIM can be used on Linux, as can dMSN.

I am capable of rearranging the fundamental building blocks of the universe in under six seconds. I shelve physics texts under "Fiction" in my personal library! I am grasping the reigns of the universe's carriage, and every morning get up and shout "Giddy up, boy!" You may never grasp the complexities of what I do, but at least have the courtesy to feign something other than slack-jawed oblivion in my presence. I, sir, am a wizard, and I break more natural laws before breakfast than of which you are even aware!

I believe SUSE uses RPMs. They should be on the install CD though.
