At the risk of starting a client war, I would like to recomend xchat for any newbies to IRC or mIRC if you are still useing windows. (xchat has also been ported to windows so you could get used to it, ready for when you switch to linux (noticed I said when)) Bitchx is for the command line user I think.
see: www.slashnet.org/connect.php for a list of clients (I know xchat is on Redhat 7.3 and on Mandrake 7.x/8.x install disks, and may have been installed by default) One reason why I like xchat is because I can open a new server window and be on two networks at once. That way I can be in #clug on the irc.linux.net network and in #nzlinux channel on the undernet network at the same time! cheers, Nick Elder On Wednesday 11 September 2002 4:10 pm, Paul wrote: > Hi all .. you can use any irc client to get to the #clug channel on the > irc.linux.com network - its actually hosted on slashnet.org > > open the client then use /server irc.linux.com ... upon connection use > /join #clug > > see you there .. bring your tales of woe .. maybe someone will care > (oops!) uh might have an answer ... > > Paul Swafford > > (Manager, E-caf@The Arts Centre) > (Level 2/28 Worcester Boulevard, Christchurch, NZ) > (ph/fax +64 3 3656480 www.e-caf.com)
