yes just like adium.. but its native in linux... there are ways of installing it using darwin port or fink and the terminal.. but im not lucky enough i guess... one more thing its much gorgeous than adium.. and it supports yahoo chat room!!!
Maybe it's the whole "consistency/familiarity" across platforms he's after. I can relate in a sense cuz I switched back to Firefox after being a devout camino user - just because I wanted the same "browser experience" regardless of what OS I'm on.
maybe that's the reason!! ahehe its the only client i used on linux!!! and what i like about it is ican support yahoo chat rooms.. though adium can do the same.. but u have to put the room name manually!!
