Linux Mint Forums

I would recommend you check out 'Gyach Enhanced'. According to its web site: Gyach is "a full-featured Yahoo client for LINUX with voice chat and webcam support. Mission: To focus on thorough Y! support on Linux only. Philosophy: Trying to do multi-protocol / cross-platform clients slows progress and results in half-baked support - One protocol, one OS...done well."

If there's a DEB (or repository) for Ubuntu Gutsy (or other recent Ubuntu version or Debian version) you should be able to get it to work well on Linux Mint. You can find more information here:

Good luck!
