[expert] IRC Client

What is a good IRC client to use with Mandrake 7? I'm looking for a good console one and a X one. I know I have BitchX installed, but cannot find the documentation for it anywhere. In fact, this would be my first foray into IRC ever... Joseph E. Sheble a.k.a. Wizaerd Wizaerd's Realm http://www

[expert] FW: about hosts allows

I'm sorry for asking this, and it's a bit embarassing that I've not been able to puzzle my way through this, but Linux is new to me, and I'm just a little bit confused about some things. I have my Linux box connected to the internet via DSL. I also have a Win98 machine hooked to the linux box th
