Refer to this link : Client Choice with Google Talk

Like Pidgin skype is also another good option. As we all know Google hasn't released a dedicated build of Google Talk for Linux yet. But google has now released a flash version of Google Talk which works in the same manner that an Instant messaging client is meant to work. Google earlier hired GAIM developer Sean Egan. GAIM, itself, already supports the Jabber protocol, which Google Talk uses, and can be configured to work with Google Talk.
