You can run AOL Instant Messenger on Linux. I had it running no problem on Red Hat 7.0

it's better to use messengers like gaim - they can use AOL messaging, MSN, icq, ect. there's a plugin for pretty much everything.

I can't remember how its spelled either, but it was an AOL produced internal beta that they were fiddling with before the project got dumped. Its not GPL, and they closed its ability to interact with AOL services, so if you find a version of it... its going to be pretty warez'y.
