Regarding the background to Linux, the blog entry mentions the security benefits of using it as well as an idea that it is an operating system which has improved so that users young and old alike might […]
What is your favorite messaging client on Linux? I’d like to know why and in particular, what are the advantages for you.
Choices are:
Pidgin
GyachI
Kopete
Empathy
I’ve only listed down those that I know of and have tried at one point in time or another. Right now, I’d have to admit that I am still using Pidgin […]
