Okay im dropping in here to be both Considerate and Helpful if I can . Install XChat ( it available in the Package lists ) joining IRC is not to difficult since your going to need to know where we are so you need to know two things , the Network is Freenode and the channel onthat network is #ubuntu-uk Since im an experienced user i never documented the process and now that I type it I find i make very many assumptions , however since your totally new to IRC would you mind making notes and taking screenshots as you go and then we can talk about posting these on the wiki ?
