Yahoo Chat


Can I use Yahoo Chat in Linux? (I wouldn't, because I hate Yahoo, but my chat contacts don't use anything else that I know of.) If so, how do I install it?

There are a few messeging clients for linux, most of which support multiple protocols. Checkout Gaim, it supports Yahoo.

If all you want to do is communicate with existing contacts then you can use the official Yahoo Messenger.

If you need to access chatrooms of use web cams then you'll need to find a third party client that supports this. I recoment Gyach-E, but I think it might be possible with gaim as well.
