Publisher's Description
Pidgin is a chat program which lets you log into accounts on multiple chat networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on XMPP and sitting in an IRC channel at the same time. It is compatible with the following chat networks out of the box: Jabber/XMPP, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, and Zephyr. It can support many more with plugins.
Pidgin supports many features of these chat networks, such as file transfers, away messages, buddy icons, custom smileys, and typing notifications. Numerous plugins also extend Pidgin’s functionality above and beyond the standard features.

This client is the best available these days, even for windows users.... Miranda IM can be more customizable and have much more available configurations, optiosn, features, but it's only for people who have time to spend with it....
Pidgin is the open source choice for IM's... ;)

1. unstable
2. developers have trouble understanding feedback in english and try to defend the product instead of acknowledging bugs
bugmenot reviewed v1.1.1 on Jan 9, 2005
Very polished! Supports multiple networks and spellchecking. Also intergrates well with Evolution 2. It is also moving forward with HIG compiance and UI simplification as well as other UI quirk fixes.
