A simple and useful Jabber client that enables you to send messages with your friends, transfer files, join chat groups, bookmark chat rooms etc.
Gajim is a powerful and practical utility that provides you with a fully featured and Jabber client so you can communicate with your friends no matter the instant messenger they are using.
One of Jabber's features is that servers provide methods to communicate with contacts on 'legacy' messaging systems, such as ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo, ...
It's not necessary to have every transport you'll require, because you can use transports on a server different to that which you're connected to. With that in mind, you should concentrate on finding a server that's fast, and close to you in location (the two usually go together) or perhaps one that has a good sounding name. There is a good list of servers on the jabber.org website.
Another advantage of the Jabber protocol is that you can be connected more than once with an account, with differents resources and priorities. For example, you can be connected at home with resource "At Home" and priority 5, and when you are at work you can be connected with resource "At Work" and priority 7 to get your messages at work.
