IMHO duplication is a bad thing. There's no reason to have 2 different apps that do the same thing in the standard install of any OS. (Reluctantly I'll exclude low-level command-line apps like, say, vi + nano.) Any IRC client offers a subset of the functionality of Pidgin, which is a perfectly good IRC client and has been my go-to one since I stopped using Win 9x. So if the base install should include a chat client, which I would say it should, then Pidgin is the most capable chat client in the openSUSE repos, AFAIK. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
