I use Pidgin (Gaim was renamed recently to Pidgin) on both Windows and Linux. Works great for the three networks (MSN, ICQ, AOL) that I'm a part of. I'm sure it would work great on the others too...

Another vote for Pidgin.

I tried to use Kopete, I really did. But it just has way too many problems.

Pidgin/Gaim is usually installed by default in most desktop geard OS's especially if they run Gnome by default. :-)
