I am sorry, this is a little off-topic. Hey All ... I was just at DrupalCon Boston 2008 this week ... how many of you were there that I might have walked by? I was also at the Code Sprint today ... that was fun except for getting the wireless to work. Anyway, now that I am home and have my good internet connection back ... I was wondering what you all use for an IRC Client. I have OpenSUSE, so I was looking for a good IRC Client for Linux ... that's all. Thanks! Tom
I love irssi. I can run it in screen on my home machine and connect from anywhere. There is a learning curve. If you want something simpler, xchat is pretty good. Tom Holmes Jr. wrote:

This is one of those things that can be a religious topic for some... :P Personally, I'm a huge fan of irssi as well. Being able to run in screen, stay connected while diagnosing X problems, extensibility with lots of available scripts, and superior handling of very large numbers of concurrently joined channels are the main selling points for me. On the GUI front, I've found XChat2 to be usable (not xchat-gnome), Pidgin unbearable, and Konversation is good, but I usually stick to Gnome for GUI stuff so haven't done much with it. -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/

Hi Tom. XChat is popular, but a bit complex at times. Pidgin (formerly Gaim) and Kopete also have IRC capabilities, and I use Pidgin on Windows as my IRC client. On Linux, I am partial to Konversation, which is the KDE IRC client. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
