Define "like mIRC".

X-Chat can load scripts, have multiple windows, multiple server connections, accepts right-click commands, etc.


from an ubuntu console you can run

Code:

man apt

man apt-get

And then you can enable the repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list config file before running:

Code:

apt-get install x-chat
which I think is spelled that way or maybe xchat.


Here's the X-Chat homepage > http://www.xchat.org

Are you talking about getting them from a bot or fserve or link that someone posts or other?
