Re: A good chat client??
Gaim is the best what's the problem with it? Besides you have Kopete but it needs kdelibs or you should have KDE installed.

Re: A good chat client??
It should be present present in your install cd. Just copy it to your desktop and install it with command
Code:
sudo dpkg -i <file name>

Re: A good chat client??
Not really. IMO, both are similarly good. And, I personally don't really like the idea of running too many KDE apps on GNOME.

Re: A good chat client??
The desktop CD of Kubuntu won't let you install KDE/KDE apps on ubuntu. You will need alternate cd for it. Or you can just download and isntall it via apt.

Re: A good chat client??
Either use apt-get or synaptic. For that you will need to set up the repositories right. Check this thread From where?? for my repositories.
Gmail is the secret of my speed  .

Re: A good chat client??
It will give you options on which Desktop Environment/Window Manager to choose from. I myself have GNOME, KDE and XFCe on my Ubuntu as well as SLED.

Re: A good chat client??
Kopete is just a chat client my dear friend. If you install it on Ubuntu, still your desktop will still remain same i.e GNOME. You won't need to switch between desktops. On the other hand if you install the whole KDE on Ubuntu, then you will have option to switch from the place where you login (the Display Manager).
