Topic: Microsoft showing their true colors once again.

Kopete was originally limited to just the KDE environment. It's been ported to a few others since it's initial inception however. I'm not sure why you'd want to use anything other than KDE, but apparently some people do.

I liked Gnome quite a bit when I was a daily Linux user.

Gnome is alright. It always felt too stripped down for me though. Besides, I've grown so accustomed to KDE that it'd be hard to switch over at this point. I mean, I've been learning it since the earlier versions of Mandrake. Of course, I'm still getting used to KDE4. :\

Both KDE and Gnome are too bloated. Xfce FTW!

I once had to make a server for a security class we just used the command line for everything.

That's what Kauke is for! It's a drop-down console akin to Quake's. There a few similar programs in the various repositories, but Kauke is the one I like.

I second the love for Adium. I'm not sure why anyone with a Mac would use any other IM client. I remember someone porting over some Windows client and trying to charge money for it, when Adium was way better and also free.

Plus you can get a Samus Duck or at least use to be able too.
