    AFAIK, ymess for linux is no longer maintained, but you have several options for instant messenging on linux, e.g. Pidgin and Kopete, both can be used to login into your yahoo account (also msn, gtalk, aol, etc.)

    Read this from Ubuntu Community Docs: Switching to Ubuntu from Windows

    It will give you some basics that are good to know, and gives some links to help find linux alternatives to Windows programs.

    the new Ubuntu software is empathy, I'm still a skeptic (I use pidgin 95% of the time) but it's got some good things going on for it.
