Is there an IRC client that's like Chatzilla but standalone?
 
Hi all. I'm looking for an IRC client that's a little more polished than XChat or Pidgin. I find Chatzilla very good but I want standalone if possible. I definitely want a decent GUI interface, not terminal. Suggestions?

If there isn't one, I'll stick with Chatzilla. If possible though, standalone does seem to be a better idea for system stability, especially since Firefox already uses a lot of RAM.

Thanks!

konversation, xchat are both good choices. I just use chatzilla because my browser is pretty much always open.

Standalone: ChatZilla on XULRunner

I'm also trying irssi - very light, elegant and easy as terminal apps go, but still not as easy as ChatZilla.

I've never used chatzilla. Xchat is about as easy as it gets. xirssi works. irssi if you need a cli based one. Lots of other options, but not many are that mature / developed. More recent Xchats can be annoying (default color choices), but you can change most of that. I tend to favor dark backgrounds and light text. But I also tend to favor a good beer too. Printer friendly setups can be a little stressing to old eyes.
