hello, i don’t think this topic is in the forums after having searched for awhile; though maybe it’s too simple to be…
however, i am not familiar with mirc and was wondering if there is a way for me to connect to the group mirc channel while on linux?
currently i am using ubuntu.
i checked their site but saw only downloads for windows.
anyone know?

im not familiar with ubuntu,as i use gentoo.but if ubuntu uses kde or gnome,you could google for ‘kde irc client’ or if you use gnome google ‘gnome irc client’

i know there is an irc client for kde but i cant remember the name

Try this.

xchat is a good linux irc client as well.

you can use the url ircatwork.com and fill in the specs to connect to us #ftir on irc.freenode.net

thanks all for your advice & suggestions; i managed to connect tonight, though don’t time to stick around.
will connect again at a later date; and hopefully start participating more
thanks again

cool cool, about 35-40 people on irc every day, so i bet there are enough people that want to help you out, the more people the more fun

Ubuntu installs with a chat program called GAIM. Gaim supports Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Jabber, ICQ, and IRC...and more. Anyways, just go to accounts, and setup GAIM to connect to IRC.FREENODE.NET - You can also have it autojoin #FTIR if you want, or do it manually. It’s how I connect when in Linux, and it works great.

Ciao
