Currently there is still no Yahoo Messenger that supports Linux Operating System such as Ubuntu, but there is few options for cyber cafe owner bases on Open Source Software:
Pidgin
For me pidgin is one of the best multi protocol instant messenger I’ve ever use, really easy to manage your multiple account like msn, yahoo, gtalk, myspace, now in pidgin you can performs video conference with your friend via gtalk as well. See http://pidgin.im/about for more information.
Pidgin is a GTK+ instant messaging application for Windows and Unix. It supports AIM, ICQ, Jabber/XMPP, MSN, Yahoo!, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE and more.
Empathy
Do you ever felt so piss off when using web browser to chat with your friend on facebook? For me I am so piss off with unstable connection during my chat session with web browser on facebook, but since I using empathy on ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 LTS it seems all my problem was solved with empathy.Empathy is a messaging program which supports text, voice, and video chat and file transfers over many different protocols. You can tell it about your accounts on all those services and do all your chatting within one application.
Empathy uses Telepathy for protocol support and has a user interface based on Gossip. Empathy is the default chat client in current versions of GNOME, making it easier for other GNOME applications to integrate collaboration functionality using Telepathy.
Current features
- Multi-protocol: Google Talk (Jabber/XMPP), MSN, IRC, Salut, AIM, Facebook, Yahoo!, Gadu Gadu, Groupwise, ICQ and QQ. (Supported protocols depend on installed Telepathy Connection Manager components.) Supports all protocols supported by Pidgin.
- File transfer for XMPP, and local networks.
- Voice and video call using SIP, XMPP, Google Talk and MSN.
- Some IRC support.
- For detailed list of supported protocol features see here
- Conversation theming (see list of supported Adium themes).
- Sharing and viewing location information.
- Private and group chat (with smileys and spell checking).
- Conversation logging.
- Automatic away and extended away presence.
- Automatic reconnection using Network Manager.
- Python bindings for libempathy and libempathy-gtk
- Support for collaborative applications (“tubes”).

If you choose to use Kubuntu as your primary operating system for you cyber cafe, I highly recommend to use Kopete since most of cyber cafe visitor using Yahoo Messenger to do video conferencing, Kopete is the best choice as an alternative to Yahoo Messenger.
Kopete is an instant messenger supporting AIM, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, Novell GroupWise Messenger, and more. It is designed to be a flexible and extensible multi-protocol system suitable for personal and enterprise use.
The goal of Kopete is to provide users with a single easy-to-use way to access all of their instant messaging systems. The interface puts people first, and is integrated with the system address book to let you access your contacts from other KDE applications. Instant messaging can be intrusive, but Kopete’s notification system can be tuned so that only important contacts interrupt you.
Kopete also features tools to enhance your instant messaging experience, such as message encryption, archiving, and many other fun and useful effects.
Kopete supports all commonly used instant messaging protocols, and the Kopete team provides templates for developers to base new plugins on. The API provides developers with many features to make it easy to support a new protocol. All protocols are plugins and allow for modular installation, configuration, and usage.
If you need help with any of its features, check the Kopete Handbook, accessible from the Help menu, or see the ‘Forum’ and the ‘Userbase’ links in the navigation bar. See the ‘Communicate’ section of the site to get in touch, or you can also always reach the team on IRC (irc.kde.org, #kopete).

I’ve using Skype for years to voice chat or video conferencing with my friend’s, for me Skype is the best software for conferencing. But there is no new version of Skype since the release or Skype 2.1 Beta 2 for Ubuntu 8.10.
As for me currently I just upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS without uninstalling old version of Skype, and it’s still running well without any problem at all. Skype for Linux is available in 32bit and 64bit.
The best thing about Skype is you can can use it with supported mobile phone such as IPhone to do conferencing and you also integrate it with Pidgin, all you have to do is install the Skype plugin for pidgin.

I found this post while surfing the net song lyrics. Thanks for sharing will be sure to follow this blog regularly.
I truly loved this brilliant article. Please continue this awesome work. Regards, Duyq.
interesting blog. It would be great if you can provide more details about it. Thanks you
What a great resource!
Please tell me it worked right? I dont want to sumit it again if i do not have to! Either the blog glitced out or i am an idiot, the second option doesnt surprise me lol. thanks for a great blog!
Hi buddy, your blog’s design is simple and clean and i like it. Your blog posts are superb. Please keep them coming. Greets!!!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
