I don't think Kies is actually necessary for much. Only thing it might be for is firmware updates, but S2 should come with 2.3 Android which has over-the-air self-update functionality. Otherwise, Ubuntu by default covers all of the needs of media sharing - something Windows doesn't, which is why th

The Quassel "server" is the IRC client but accepts connections from Quassel clients to allow you to use your single IRC connection from multiple locations. It's like running irssi under screen for example. Jared On May 20, 2012 10:31 AM, "Stephen Rees-Carter" wrote: > I'm curious, what does th

I'm curious, what does the client-server model do in Quassel? I assume you don't mean you run your own IRC server? I tried Irssi a while ago, but it doesn't play nice with Byobu so it never worked out for me. Thanks, ~Stephen On Sun, May 20, 2012 at 10:12 AM, Dave Hall wrote: > On 20/05/12 09:5

Hi all, I'm thinking about becoming more active on IRC, but I don't really know what IRC client I should be using. I've tried XChat in the past and it's ok but kinda clunky, I'm currently using both Empathy and the Freenode Webchat, but neither are perfect in their own ways. So, any suggestions?
