IRC is an instant chat system that's simple and open -- not plagued by pointless jazz.<br /> <br /> To connect, install an IRC program such as X-Chat or Irssi, and connect to <span style="font-weight: bold">irc.freenode.net</span>. The channel name is, you guessed it, <span style="font-weight: bold">#linuxformat</span>. In a typical IRC client, you'd enter:<br /> <br /> </span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Code:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="code">/server irc.freenode.net<br /> /nick mygreatnickname &#40;whatever you like here, providing it's not already taken&#41;<br /> /join #linuxformat<br /> </td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"><br /> <br /> Note: discussions are prone to going widly off topic, so don't be alarmed if you land in the middle of a debate comparing Foster's lager with glibc.<br /> <br /> Mike http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=7967#7967 M-Saunders Sat Sep 03, 2005 10:37 pm http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=7967#7967
