Hi,
What is 'the best' messenger tool on linux (KDE), which don't rely on the Micro$oft messenger stuff and what are the most used standards? You've Yahoo, AOL and so on. But what are the differences? What tools are provided by SuSE?
I'm fairly 'new' to messaging so some info on this subject is highly appreciated!

Go to sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net and enter that in the search box. There's a *lot* of messenger clients for linux, and most of them are very nice (like the others who have replied, I too like GAIM, but would really prefer to use Seclude...I just need to get the few other people I actually chat with to install it and use gpg/pgp, lol). If you want security during your chat, GAIM does have a plugin for gpg, but there's another client that goes this one better, http://www.seclude.org/ Read up on it at that site. It requires you to swap public keys with the person you want to chat with, but that's no problem, and of course you both have to be using the same client (seclude).
