Does anyone know of a better version of aol instant messenger for linux than the official one from aol, it doesn't have all the features of the windows AIM and nowhere near as nice as deadAIM which is what I was using before switching to linux.

try this, i use it and its great:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net
the Gnome AOL Instant Messanger. i use kde, but it works fine for me.

hmm, try either naim or gaim....
naim can be found here:
http://site.n.ml.org/info/naim/
gaim can be found here:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

I installed naim and when I go to run it it just lags for a few seconds and nothing happens.

Why not try gaim?

I looked at the screen shots, it didn't look any better than AIM, but if you says its better I'll give it a try.

Gaim is a lot nicer than AIM

thanks

Plus gaim will also do the other IM protocols too.

i think i should make my own instant messenger then make it open source.

i can write something up in 10 minutes


then ill convert windows to linux and make it open source.


by the way, does anyone know what happen to kazaa lite?

what the fuck?

Seeking Kazza Lite...

Instructions to Fine Kazaa Lite.

Use KaZaA non lite to download it.

or go to www.google.com (please note needs to be google, yahoo and others don't give same search results)

type KaZaA Lite (just as it is their)

do down the list looking at the website URLS. When you see one that has a.tk ending, click that. It will be the first one on the list. Go to that site, and click download in the left hand coloum. Click what version you want, and wala install. Also try LimeWire (google for it / maybe limewire.org) There are linux and windwos versions, and I find it works better.
