Here are a few:

xChat (http://www.xchat.org/)
irssi (http://www.irssi.org/)
BitchX (http://www.bitchx.org/)

Good luck

There should be irc clients included on the latest mandrake public realease discs even.

If I'm not mistaken.

Just go to install/remove programsin rpmdrake and search for irc. I'm fairly certain it came included with the 10.1 CE release I had installed a while ago.

i hadn't had time to look properly yet cos i had no internet with linux till now so hadn't checked what all was there yet (stupid dial up modems) but now am back at me aprtment i had a chance to look and found one installed with mandrake - kopete (IM prog- works with IRC... just dunno bout file transfer on irc yet)

tanx for the suggestions tho, i'll look into them if i don't like the irc interface on kopete :)

I personally like irssi but there are many others out there. BitchX has been trojaned the last few years.....lol. xchat is cool for begin'ers.
