i'm going to be making a smoothwall server out of some parts i got the other day, and i'm wondering, is there a way go get MSN messanger on linux?

You cant put it on smoothwall.

Trillian

I dont think trillian is out for linux either.

GAIM

its an aol messenger client that allows u to use plugins for other services, ie: msn. this is the only one i got working right, all the others were giving me the s***s.

cheers

Gaim is one of the best, however, it WONT RUN ON SMOOTHWALL

cause smoothwall lacks a compiler, and for good reason
its an internet router, to stop hackers, DONT go installing s*** on it, cause thats not what its for and you risk opening up holes in it.

centericq for all your IM needs in linux

It won't run "on" smoothwall like people have said, it will however work on any computers connected to the smoothwall server... Just in case you got confused.

icq is your friend.

The MSN4Lin project.

> It won't run "on" smoothwall like people have said

any linux app will run on smoothwall

if you cant figure out how than i wont bother telling you as it may confuse you even more

kmerlin works fine

smoothwall doesn't come with any compilers NOR does it even come with an X server.. so good luck running anything designed for X that needs a compiler :)

just run it on a system behind the smoothwall :)

one question but why the f*** would want to run an instant message client directly from your firewall. How about enable the ports on smoothwall. Also note kmerlin works fine behind smoothwall (bullet) and so does msn 5.0

cuz i can have a switchbox for monitor/keyboard etc and when my comp is busy/i'm dead in cs/etc i can switch and chat. not really a high priority, just if i can, i might try it
