newbie query

Hi Again:

Linux makes use of Gaim. It is a multi protocol IM Client. So you can
use it for Yahoo, and for a few other messengers as well. Last time I
checked Linux Versions of Yahoo Messenger, do not support Voice Chat
yet( about a year ago, I looked at it!). I believe Ekiga does what you
would like to do, however perhaps not with Yahoo.
