Could you be more specific? What types of programs are you looking for?

What are you looking to do?

Gaim has the ability to go AIM, MSN, ICQ all in one as well as many other protocols including IRC.

For a CD burner check out k3b. It is by far the best, most intuitive burning program out there for linux IMO.

Yes it is completely compatible with Yahoo.

I am not familiar with PSI though.

I would not go with slackware if I were a noob. I think the best distro to start out with would be either Mandrake or Redhat. Both are relatively easy to install and use.

If you want to just try linux out without and committment I would reccomend looking at Knoppix. This is a CD based distro of Linux that runs completely from the CD. You can use this without modifying your HD at all
Take linux for a risk free test drive
