Kvirc is also my favorite IRC client. Rather than installing the Mandrake 10 rpm, I'd suggest installing the CVS version. The client is under active development and there have been lots of changes, additions, and bugfixes lately. It's been evolving steadily for years. It's a great client, has excellent scripting support, and a nice systray icon too. There are also pop-ups that can be enabled in the newest CVS that pop up on the desktop when there is certain activity. There is good DCC and voice chat capability too. If you need any advice on obtaining the CVS version of Kvirc and dealing with the cvs and compilation/installation, let me know. I have a couple of recipes that I can send along to make it easy to install. If you're going to go with the CVS (which you can keep up to date easily too), don't install the rpm. Compiling from CVS isn't hard at all. And you can just cut-and-paste commands into a Konsole window. You'll have to deal with a few package dependencies when you read the output of the ./configure command the forst time you get ready to compile, but with urpmi sources set up it isn't difficult. And the CVS version is worth the extra work. Rick Kunath
