Empathy.

Sweet just installed this.

For Gentoo:
These would give Jabber/GTalk support with VOIP. There's butterfly and idle packages available for MSN and IRC too. I'm trying only GTalk now.

Edit:
WOOT WOOT GTalk works, loud, crystal clear VOIP!

Thanks a ton rayraven.

Hey, happy to have helped. I posted here as i couldnt find any reviews online.

How abt one from you?

Also, tell me , how good are the message styles?

The UI is quite ok, not on par with Pidgin nor Kopete though its oriented more like Pidgin's UI. Same goes for the message styles. If you meant the theming in the message window I think?

What review do you want?

All I did was configure my mic (Enabled Mic Capture in alsaconfig) and fired up Empathy, clicked add account, entered the id and password (Rest are auto) and logged in. Those whom you can voice chat with are shown with a Mic icon, and all you gotta do is right click and call. Thats it

^Yep, I meant the chat windows. Loved that feature when i used kopete.

And by review, i mean a proper review of the whole app

gonna try empathy,seems a gtalk replacement for Linux

sry to bump up an old post ...
is there any repository for centos where empathy is available? centos 64-bit?
