I remember back when I was starting to use Linux as a desktop, which would be roughly 2003/04-ish, I used GAIM as my chat client. I liked it because unlike the standard AIM client or Trillian, it wasn't terribly bloated with adware that just got in the way. It was also on Windows as well, so I could use it on multiple platforms. With free text messaging I rarely if ever use Pidgin, which GAIM had evolved into. For IRC, which I use a lot these days, I started off with Chatzilla as my client. Then I discovered XChat in the repos and moved on to that. Since XChat doesn't receive updates as far as I know, I use the HexChat fork for my IRC needs. -Ryan
