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 >
