I haven't been to an IRC chat in over 5 years so this is pretty new to me. I also just built myself a new Linux machine for development and was not familiar with any Linux IRC clients. For those in a similar situation here is a little info on some Linux/*nix IRC clients. I think I'll try X-Chat as I use Gnome. We'll see. See y'all there tomorrow. By the way the links below came from Linuxberg.com aka Tucows. If you click on one it should take you to a page to direct you to the closest mirror. Hope this helps.
