Pidgin is multi-platform and multi-protocol chat client software that makes it possible to keep all contacts in one place and talk to GTalk, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ etc. buddies using one application. Honestly speaking I found it literally the best application for my IM communication purposes and my choice was just double-confirmed as now Pidgin allows to add also Skype and Facebook contacts and communicate with them! See below how to enable this under Ubuntu (no matter Lucid or Maverick).

Linux portable applications run from removable media like USB drives, CD or similar without installation. Just imagine you copy pidgin IM client to USB flash drive and can use it on any Linux distribution including Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva whatever: no need to find pidgin package for specific distribution, no need to install it as binary .deb or .rpm or compile it from sources (yes, I know people who still compile pidgin from tag.gz sources), no need to gain root rights for installation. Just download one of Linux portable apps, copy it to USB and run it anywhere!
