#linuxagora IRC Channel!

[danieldk]

So, everyone is welcome to join the LinuxAgora IRC channel :).

Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #linuxagora

I suppose it will be somewhat quiet in the beginning, so stay around ;).

I'm getting this error message...

(06:51:41 AM) ChanServ: (notice) You do not have channel operator access to [#linuxagora]


you also need to factor that I have no clue as to what I am doing. I'm trying to use Gaim or is there another easier app.


edit: found that Xchat is the way to go. Google is my friend.

I use xchat but only because it came with the distro. I find it has all the features that I would ever use.

The op mode is for operators which is similar to a moderator on a forum. It has little utility other than setting the topic listed for the channel and temporarily kicking nicks off the channel, and setting other modes that are rarely used.

IRC is a live, real time, interactive messaging system.

Commands are prefixed with a forward slash "/".

A list of commands is listed at wikipedia:

I am a newbie at IRC as well. I have rarely used it.

I see we both are new to this, where is the 13 yr old grandson when I need him...

I'm in the chat room now and will be for a while.

Daniel, thanks for your work on this. fos and I are both there now. Hopefully it will catch on.

Now all we need is a web based version that I can use from work. :)

[fos]

I found this web based IRC client via Google:

Just fill in your nick, irc.freenode.net and #linuxagora for the channel and it should work.

I've just registered, using pidgin as the irc client, following this how-to (http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/pidgin?page=0%2C2)

Probably won't be hanging out there much, until the deep, dark days of winter....

:biggrin:
