Maybe it’s been more than a month since I started using Empathy on a regular basis. It’s a fairly reliable messenger client for Yahoo, MSN and Google. I still have problems with using it though. Maybe it’s because I’ve been used to Pidgin that much. So yeah, here it goes:
Empathy
As of writing, the version I have here is Empathy 2.26.1 and it’s been pretty stable. It never gave me log in problems with YM. Also, it’s been easy to use because adding new contacts is easy as well as seeing those symbols for the contacts who are online, offline or away are very easy to remember and understand.

For input it supports CBZ, CBR, CBC, EPUB, FB2, HTML, LIT, MOBI, ODT, PDF, PRC, PDB, PML, RB, RTF, TXT.

Novell’s SUSE Studio 1.0 is a Web-based service for building Linux-based software appliances that outshines similar services, such as rPath’s rBuilder, with its ease of use and tight integration with the existing framework of SUSE software tools and services.
