I was able to get Kazaa Lite 2.0.2 interface up on RH Linux 8.0 with Wine 20020605, but not without problems. Kazza Lite eternally says Connecting... and does nothing more. I need to experiment on it a bit more but time is not on my side for now. Anyway, you could try out the links below for help.

http://www.drd.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/search2.cgi -- Download dlls if purely on GNU/Linux environment.
http://murix.sourceforge.net -- Another good site for installation instruction and dlls. (the ones i am using)

You can try GiFT (as suggested), or Limewire. Limewire is improving day by day. The new algorithm in Limewire 2.9.8 offers better connectivity & much a faster search results closely comparable to Kazaa. Finally, you get the satisfaction of supporting an open p2p protocol. But it has its downside of requiring jre1.3+. If you are willing to have it in your system then all's well. Cheers^ VR
