Linux Hydra Work-Alike?

Is there anything like Hydra for Linux yet? Perhaps something that uses Jabber?

editor can take a much more complete set of notes than
any one person. See my earlier post about how well Hydra did

So where’s the breakthrough Linux app? I am aware of distributing
Emacs frames to a bunch of X11 servers, but that’s too dependent
on not having the host machine sneeze.

thanks Lazyweb.org readers for any input on this!
