IRC

Many of the editors of this Wiki hang out, or at least lurk in the #unixhelp IRC channel on EFNet. Anyone is welcome to join the channel and ask questions (but please have a look at the several items in the list above first!).

If you have not used IRC before, you will need to obtain a client (see the list below), and connect to an IRC server. Using irc.efnet.net should connect you to one of several available servers.


Clients

For UBOs: xchat is the most popular GUI client. Some ncurses based clients are: irssi, epic, and BitchX

For Windows: Mirc is by far the most popular. Perch is another example.
