Yes, Jabber. Install ejabberd or something on one of the Linux boxes.
To clarify: Jabber is a messaging protocol. Gaim understands Jabber. Install a jabber server like ejabberd on one of your linux boxes, and that box will become a jabber server. All the boxes can run Gaim and connect to the server. Run jabber conferencing (google for that) and you'll get chat rooms in addition to one-to-one IM.
