Kazaa for Linux
Is there a Kazaa client for Linux? I have googled for it but can't really find anything. I find mention of it but no linkage.

i've looked before but i've never found one. you might play around with wine some, i think i've heard of people getting it to work that way. also you can always use gnutella, works pretty well IMO (it's no napster, but it's almost as good as kazaa IMO).

I thought about Wine, may mess with it. I need to find the link but I found a german site with screenshots of an install of a console kazaa client. What I really need to do is to find a way to allow multiple kazaas to run at once under different users. I have tried this with 2k and terminal services, but Kazaa pukes. Maybe 2 installs or something. I just know that Linux works much better for this kind of thing.
To clarify both me and my girlfriend use it but dont share well. Looks like I will have to do some tinkering.

Are you just looking for a P2P program or Kazaa? I use GTK-Gnutella in Linux for my peer to peer program.
There used to be a Kazaa program for Linux which could be the link posted above but I am pretty sure it no longer works.

I have tried Gnutella and don't much care for it. Just doesnt seem as robust or fast as Kazaa.

Either edonkey or limewire would be what you're after. Limewire uses the GNUtella network, but it isn't as good as Kazaa on windows. I haven't used edonkey much, never really got into it, but its meant to be good.
That link gave me a 550, (no such file or directory) so I can't speak for that.
[edit] found this, looks like its dead. http://www.linuxorbit.com/features/kenshi1.php

Just to post some more info I've found:
There was a Fastrack client for Linux, they paid someone to develop a closed source client - which they did, and then those people went on to make an open source client. Fasttrack did not like this and changed the protocol adding some 'security' features. It became clear that Kazaa (whoever it was owned by) and FT, did not like Open source, despite promises made at the start.
There is an Open-Source version of fast-track in development at gift.sourceforge.net but it isn't compatible with kazaa clients.
