Just load the right plugin, called "libmsn.so", then go to "accounts", set up the screenname as loginname, click "mail notification" and "autologin" and you're set to go!
 
Make sure u select Mozilla as default browser, otherwise u won't be able to go straight to your Inbox at login....at least, for me, Konqueror it didn't like the URL. Mail notification works properly (i.e u get a pop-up with new mail!) as well.
 
Excellent

I'd like to install mandrake at home (windows is getting me off my nerves these days)
 
I wanted to know wether gaim or any other messenger service (compatible with msn users) supports a webcam and/or "vocal" conversations.
