aMSN

Instant messenger for Linux that is compatible with Windows Live Messenger.

The most used tool to communicate in real-time over Internet is Live Messenger, but Microsoft have made a version of their popular instant messaging client available for Linux users, so if we want to enjoy this instant messenger service on our distribution, we will have to resort to developments like aMSN.

  This application is a clone of the Microsoft client and it offers us practically the same functions: send messages online and offline, send and receive files, use all kinds of emoticons, carry out video conferences and maintain a registry of the conversation that we have had.

  But aMSN also includes some extra functions that can be very practical like managing conversations by means of tabs, open various accounts at the same time, use plugins to have new communication options or use skins to customize the clients appearance.

  If you want to communicate with your friends and family over Live Messenger or MSN Messenger and you are looking for an efficient and stable client for Linux, don't doubt in downloading aMSN as soon as possible.

  Requirements: It requires that you have Tcl/Tk 8.5 installed and the libraries indicated during the compilation.
