jabber network) can satisfactorily replace the richness of
original ICQ for MS Windows. They only allow the mere IM function
but don't really allow (as far as I saw)
wide users search or multiple chat.
So I'll have to use MS Windows, although I wouldn't like.
If anybody has a different experience, i.e. finds that licq,
or any other application can perform those functions just or almost
just as the original does - and this means that I didn't manage to use
them properly - please let me know, I'll be glad to have been wrong.
Thanks, cheers,
Hi Rodolfo, |
I have had some success with using Wine to run some Win32 programs:
Internet Explorer, Firefox with flash 8, photoshop,... Thus I get the
ability to run an win32 program, dont need to buy M$ Os and dont need to
install it. Maybe try ICQ with WINE.
Cheers,
Kev
ps. It beats having your folks having a nice virus/spyware target x-)

I have not tried ICQ or Jabber yet but you didn't mention Kopete and it
manages them as it manages MSN and yahoo or other. Maybe give it a try ?
