Hello all,
Why Yahoo still has a bad messenger for Linux? There is no place to actually complain about that, and yahoo doesn't bother about Linux users either. Why does yahoo keeps a step brotherly attitude towards Linux.
Regards,
Cranium1200

because you should use linux utilities under Linux. both GAIM (Pidgin) and Kopete work well as Yahoo! messenger clients

Hello there,

Its trime to change your chat status. yahoo is getting bored nowadays . try using Gaim or Pidigin.. even Gtalk is also recommended and very easy to use.

If you compile WITH NetworkManager, it crashes constantly. However, I don't know how to compile without it.
