IRC chat, ubuntu

Xchat is a nice gui irc(Internet Relay Chat) client and may already be on your system. If not, you can get it with :

sudo apt-get install xchat

A text-based alternative irc client is irssi(homepage http://irssi.org/). You can get irssi with :

sudo apt-get install irssi

IRC is a good way to get help. The main Ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu on the irc.freenode.net irc network. There are other Ubuntu channels as well, including #ubuntu-offtopic (for social chat), #ubuntu+1 (for the dev ubuntu release), #ubuntu-effects (for beryp/compiz/xgl in ubuntu) and lots of Ubuntu channels for different languages.
