Linux alternatives
 
sum those less obvious alternatives up!

MSN/AIM/...: GAIM

Audio: XMMS + MPEG patch. there are some legal problems so you can't play MPEG files (mp3's), but the unofficial patch fixes it (google it!)

automatic update managers: YUM or APT (yum handles the dependencies better). very ease: one command lets all packages be updated or install a new one! :)
