Kopete and gaim are messengers which support multiple protocols like yahoo, msn, jabber, icq,irc and more. Yahoo do supply with a version of yahoo messenger for linux platform. But, the last version of it was released ages back. IMO, it is better to use gaim or kopete to connect to yahoo then the messenging client supplied by yahoo. It is possible to see the full friends list with these clients. It is possible to install yahoo messenger in ubuntu or any other linux distro. It is some dependancy that is missing. It can be known by starting messenger from the terminal that which dependancy is missing. I guess it will be GTK 1.2. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
