Um, probably one of the best that is out there is Gaim. Homepage is http://gaim.sourceforge.net it can connect to every IM client out there (well, MSN until Oct 15 for sure, not sure after that. check http://gaim.sourceforge.net/msn.php for details) and it is included with Mandrake.

You could also check Kopete. Is not included in mdk, but is worth the dwnld

Gaim is good, but since I've been using ICQ forever (and so are all my family and friends) I mostly use GnomeICU which is pretty damn good IMHO.

Included in Mdk from what I remember of the install are LICQ, GnomeICU, Gaim, I'm probably missing a few more that I never looked at....

There's also Everybuddy.
Both Everybuddy and Gaim can handle all the major im protocols - AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber. I prefer Gaim.
