IRC Help
IRC (Instant Relay Chat) is a protocol that allows a large number of people to create or join a chat room to carry out discussions. Connecting to an IRC channel requires an IRC client. On GNU/Linux, XChat is among the most popular. Konversation is another option for KDE. To use IRC within Firefox or IceCat, try ChatZilla. To use IRC through the terminal, the most popular option has always been irssi. Once you install any one of these, enter the server and channel names to connect.
