It's hard to believe, but I haven't done chat (and I've been 'online' since Genie in '90 or '91). I don't even have a chat client installed on any of my machines.
So, I figure -- let's stick one on the Debian box. A quick "apt-cache search irc | grep client" yields 48 client packages. There's everything from bitchx to zircon. As you might imagine, I need some suggestions on which irc-client to install. I'm running Debian Woody, X11 v4, and Gnome-sawfish desktop. I mention the X stuff because for this application I think a graphical interface will be more appropriate for me (panels, sizing, etc.). Please don't start a religious war. Just tell me what you like and why it's the next best thing to sliced bread :=) tnx, -- gt Yes I fear I am living beyond my mental means--Nash
