I've not used Ubuntu extensively either. Both you and Vampirefo are saying the same thing here. I've not found an IM client to run. Is Gaim the only one, if so will it work with others enough? said by SUMware : BTW - you can keep Windows installed along with Linux. You are not required to delete it. I really can't see the point in that. It would be easier to just uninstall, source Microsoft to obtain the OEM and have it for another machine. -- The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke

Pidgin (Gaim) & Kopete seem to be the most popular. said by norwegian : what of software for them that may need installing, how limiting is some of the choices that may come into play later? Good question. Selecting a distribution with large repositories will offer the most choices down the road. A Debian based distro as well as openSUSE offer huge repos with vast software collections. openSUSE maintains their repos 24/7 with the latest software and patches. Other distros do not. The newest versions are made available ASAP. This may be an important consideration. And YaST is a wonderful OS/software manager. And, as you know, no 3rd party security of any kind is needed.
