There are AOL style instant messengers. I think one is called Gaim
The best books are for RedHat 8.0 such as RH Linux 8 Bible. They explain all of those programs. I see it on my menu but I don't use IRC clients. You see, I have no friends.
hey ok ya gaim is a really good IM but if u wanna send files to your friends that dont got linux it makes it almost impossible i downloaded "Amsn" from sourceforge.net and it looks like msn from windows but its really not stable i think it was made by mircrosoft because its really bad it freezes up my computer just like msn did on windows but if u wanna try that go for its a pretty lttle program. I hope this post isent too old hehe
