Hi Avery,
You could also try Xchat... You will find this in the
INternet->Debian->Xchat
Once you have Xchat running - you will need to add a server...so Click
on the Xchat drop down menu (first menu on the top left) Choose Server
List - a new dialogue appears...from here - choose NEW SERVER...
In the New Server dialogue box - you will need to fill in the details....
Name: IRC Freenode
Server: irc.freenode.net (this is the IMPORTANT bit as it gives the
internet address for the server)
Password: can leave this field blank
Channels: can leave this blank too (or you could put #computerbank in
there so you automatically join the computerbank channel. )
Nickname: can leave this blank
Connect Command: can leave this blank
That's it...
Remember where this entry is in the serverlist...
In the Server list dialogue box - at the very top - you can type in
the nickname you would like to be known as...
Once you have done this - highlight the correct server option and
choose Connect!
Once connected - to join a channel you will need to type /join
#computerbank in the status window to join the computerbank
channel...and this is where we are...hopefully when you join - someone
may be there for you to ask questions. :))
All commands to do something must be proceeded with the /
eg /list will give you a channel listing...
/join #channelname will allow you to join channels...once on channels
- you will have channel tabs down the bottom of the Xchat screen. :))
When logged into a channel - all you need to do is type what you want
to say and press enter to send the text into the channel window! And
now your in business. :))
I suggest reading the Xchat manual pages at
http://www.xchat.org/docs/xchat.html to find out how to make the best
of Xchat. :))
If I see you online - I can help with getting the MSN (GAIM) client
going....
Cheers,
Kylie
