Best Irc Client

Haggis · 12-23-2004, 08:57 PM

I'm migrating from Windows and usually use mIrc whats the best equivalent for Mandrake 10.1?

irssi! =D

nah, if you want something similar to mIRC check out xchat. (but irssi rocks =D)

See http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-l...en/table.shtml for a table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux.

In my opinion XChat would best for you? its got a nice interface and is easy to use.

I agree - its the most user-friendly. and when you get tired of all the gui fluff, take a look at bitchx

Yes, Xchat would do be great for a person migrating from mirc windows to linux. The website of the xchat client is http://www.xchat.org/

Of course, there are a lot of sweet irc clients, such as irssi(which is terminal base though)

/me sings the irssi song.

I'd go with the xchat. Another good alternative, especially if you use KDE is konverstion.

Coming at this the other way, what are the good open source clients that are also available for the Windows platform ? I'd like to standardise but only got interested after using IRC under Knoppix.

reddazz · 01-11-2005, 10:26 AM

xchat and gaim have versions for Windows.

Thanks

Oops.

Personally, I find KVirc to be the next best thing to mirc.

I have never liked XChat (no real reason, I just don't like the way it looks.

)
