Is there something like Trillian for Linux?

Title says it all. I just installed Mandrake Linux today. I would like to find something that can log me into MSN messenger.

Also, what is the shortcut to jump to a full consol screen? I haven't been able to find it again yet and it's been about a year since I last worked with Linux.

Did you try everybuddy?

Gaim. Works like a charm w/ Yahoo!, AIM, MSN, ICQ, et al.

i'm pretty sure gaim does msn. and your consoles are ctrl+alt+Fn where Fn is usually F1-F6, and F7 being X.

I've heard good things about GAIM, but I didn't personally like it.

so right now i just use GnomeICU (best ICQ client for linux that ive tried)
it would be nice to find a standalone msn client as well, but i rarely use MSN anyways.
