Re: ICQ under Linux



I must strongly disagree with you on that one,
out of experiance of running both gabber and jabber here I can tell you
the gabber client is highly unstable when it come to extentions
not mention the server is badly written crash from time to time 
and have memory leaks.

I couldn't make the icq extension work at all, and the AIM one need
a very very specific version of AIM which need to be installed using wine
I would recommand as ilya said to use gaim which has plugins to support
everything from jabber icq to napster
