Post your favourite IRC client (on Linux)

As title..

Been using bitchX for a while, but only because that was the first client I stumbled upon and may not be the "best"

btichx.

Haven't tried that many though, so will be interested in what others have to say. I did try ircii briefly but decided I prefer bitchx.

I'm also interested in what finch offers (the command line based pidgin) but haven't looked into it yet.

I always used to use Xchat, did the job fine for me.

Me too, only one I've used though.

 

[Topgun]

i use mirc

 

[mortals]

I use xchat

 

[matja]

irssi (in screen , of course)

I tend to switch between many machines each day, and like to take my irc with me without reconnecting each time, and taking channel/buffer histories with me (unlike a BNC)

Been using XChat in Windows and Linux for more than a year now. Beats mIRC, hands down.

If I had a spare shell account I'd set up irssi in screen and use XChat with remote irssi plugin, but alas, my current shell account sucks.

irssi and konversation alternately.

Trying out XChat, with the Gnome window package/addon and it's quite lully.

irssi in screen.
