Description of aMsn 0.97.2 for Linux

aMsn is an alternative instant messaging client based on the official MSN protocol and published under the GPL license, namely that ensures the free promotion, distribution, use and modification.

His name, aMsn, comes from its creator Alvaro Iradier, namely Alvaro's Messenger.
