re: irc client question
I tried using tee with BitchX and found those two programs just hang my computer even with BitchX run inside ` marks. I may have to run BitchX with -d and -f options to make this work, but I don't like my chances. --
irc client question
For now I'm using BitchX. That could change though. What I'd like to do after getting a new account on a server is to get a complete list of all channels on that server. Ideally, I'd be able to issue the /list command and have the entire output sent to a text file on my drive sceamlessly. Less than ideal, examine the list of channels through a pager like less. For now I don't know of irc clients that can do this and am curious if any exist I can run on the command line. --

I am usually connected to two or three servers and a half dozen channels, and having each channel in its own window is extremely nice. Of course it is very configurable, and that behavior can be changed; the client can be made to look and act like ircii fairly easily. I customized it so long ago, however, that I don't remember most of the options you can set. The web site tends to be pretty helpful though.

Thanks, Shaikh Hi, I have used four over the last couple of months, kopete, konversation, x-chat and irssi. If you are looking for a GUI client then irssi isn't for you. If you are using gnome or lots of gtk apps then x-chat will blend in well. konversation is similar to x-chat but is for kde, so if you are a kde guy then it should be good for you. Kopete is in the style of a IM client, and in fact supports all the common IM protocols, but if you are a power irc users it isn't for you.

Re: best IRC client for Debian
I only ever use XChat for gui (whether I'm in KDE or Gnome), just because it looks nice and fairly easy to use. For CLI, I'm most partial to irssi. Once again, it looks fairly nice, easier to use, and just seems a whole lot easier than bitchx/epic. Shaikh Quader wrote: What is the best IRC client for Debian?
