Free chat server software for linux

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor.
CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.) CentOS is free, however, we ask for a small contribution. CentOS is a project of the cAos Foundation.
CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn the core developers are supported by an active user community including system administrators, network administrators, enterprise users, managers, core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.
CentOS has numerous advantages over some of the other clone projects including: an active and growing user community, quickly rebuilt, tested, and QAed errata packages, an extensive mirror network, developers who are contactable and responsive, multiple free support avenues including IRC Chat, Mailing Lists, Forums, a dynamic FAQ. Commercial support is offered via a number of vendors.
CentOS exists to provide a free enterprise class computing platform to anyone who wishes to use it. CentOS 2 and 3 are fully compatible rebuilds of RHEL 2 and 3 respectively. CentOS 2 and 3 are reproduced from RHEL sources that are freely distributed by RedHat.
Redistributed packages and sources comply fully with RedHats redistribution requirements. CentOS 2 and 3 are designed for people who need an enterprise class OS without the cost, support, certification, or brand name of RedHat.

Streamnik Server project is an IPTV server based on the open codecs Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/Theora. It can stream a number of different channels and is optimized to run on leased (virtual) servers. The program schedule is defined by an SQL database table and can be changed at runtime.

Darwin Calendar Server provides a CalDAV server.

The Darwin Calendar Server is a standards-compliant server that allows multiple users to collaboratively share calendaring information. It provides a shared location on the network to store schedules, and allows users to send each other and manage invitations.

In order to provide interoperability with multiple calendaring clients, the server implements the CalDAV protocol, which is an extension of WebDAV, which is in turn an extension of HTTP.

pDonkeyS is Perl implementation of an eDonkey server. The main goal of the server is to provide framework for further eDonkey protocol exploration, but it could be useful in testing of client software, since the server can be configured to output very detailed debugging info about eDonkey traffic.

This server was made to provide framework for further eDonkey protocol exploration, but it could be usefull in testing of client software, since the server can be configured to output very detailed debug info about eDonkey traffic.

B-Chat is a small application which allows you to chat on Battle.net.

It has no fancy GUI interface (yet :-), but I have plans for making it Gnome compliant.

However, at the moment it works pretty much like the regular UNIX telnet client, with the lines that are being sent and received mixed into eachother.

It can make it hard to read at times, but it serves my purpose.

I started work on this client because I wanted a way to chat with my friends on Battle.net while I was on Linux.

I really didnt feel like rebooting to Windows just to run TopazChat or ScumBot (I dont like Wine either :-), so I decided to code my own chat client.

The client is still in its early stages, so its very rough and may be hard to use. You have to supply the name o the Battle.net server that you are going to be connecting to. This will change in the future.
