Application Name: naim
Application Description: naim is a console client for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), AOL I Seek You (ICQ), Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and The lily CMC.
naim includes unique features like zero-configuration peer to peer encryption, automatic message queueing, and incoming message modification (to correct common spelling mistakes and expand common abbreviations; see /help filter).
naim also includes powerful dynamic module support, allowing developers to modify all major aspects of naim's behavior.
Third-party plug-ins have been used to extend naim's functionality for use in embedded monitoring clients, and for use as host to automatic clients ("bots").
The naim-modules package (distributed below) includes several example plug-ins, including a telnet server (nsocket), an interactive bot (naimusers), and a simple anti-spam measure (nantispam).
When combined with GNU Screen, naim is great to use as a chat client as well as an answering machine. Individual users can detach, log out, pack up and go home, then log back in from anywhere on the Internet to resume their naim session.
naim is maintained by an OPEN, DIRECTED COMMUNITY, and has been in development since October, 1998.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

While linking is good for information about the following software. The install is mostly done with a central depository by your distro. For instance, I use Gentoo Linux, so I install software by doing "emerge <software>". I the case of Ubuntu/Kubuntu it is done by graphical installer or a command line if you prefer.

More information on Ubuntu software installer here.
