I use trillian on any windows, mostly because I have a ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! and Jabber connection... love it, all in one program

I also used to use Trillian a few months back. Personally in Windows I found it a waste I guess thats because I mostly use MSN but I with that Trillian would work in an linux envioment.

Why you want trillian in Linux? I think Kopete is a pretty fine IM allround client...

For some reason when ever I try to use Kopete it struggles to sign into the MSN network. I really like Amsn thats a good app

For Kopete, you need to update it. The version 0.10.0 is buggy in it's MSN plugin, version 0.10.1 or higher has no problems anymore.

Same goes for Trillian, now for 2 or 3 days there's a new MSN plugin that makes it even worse!

When I install Linux again I'll update Kopete to the latest version.
