* [http://konversation.kde.org/ Konversation] is a standalone client built on [http://www.kde.org/ KDE]. On for Linux, you can probably get it as a package from your Linux distribution. Its look and feel is similar (but of course not identical) to that of ChatZilla above; which one you prefer is of course a matter of personal tasteswhile being built on [http://www.kde.org/ KDE].
