On Windows, there is mIRC (not free), Pidgin (which is also an IM client in general), Trillian (which is also an IM client), XChat (although the Windows version is not free – a separate developer has made XChat 2 available for Windows for free – search for “XChat 2 for Windows” – although it’s not up to date by any means). On Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, OpenSUSE and others, there’s XChat, KVIrc, Pidgin (which is also an IM client in general), Windows There are many IRC clients available – even for iOS, Windows Phone and Android. However, IRC clients like XChat allow you to connect to a channel by simply typing in the IRC channel in a dialogue box, negating the need to use the /join channel to join a channel on an IRC network you are connected to. Whichever IRC client you use, to join a channel when connected to a server, you can execute the following command when you are connected to the server: /join #ubuntu or /join #html. Channels are always prefixed with the hash symbol (#) and all channels prefixed with the hash symbol also refers that it is a network-wide channel that is available on an entire IRC network, such as Freenode. These are separate “rooms” usually for discussing different topics or for entirely different projects.įor example, on Freenode, a channel called #ubuntu is for the Ubuntu open source operating system whereas #html is for discussions relating to the markup language, HTML. Some popular IRC servers include Freenode which is an IRC network focused on free and open source projects. When you use IRC through an IRC client, you connect to an IRC server. IRC is used for a wide variety of purposes – for getting technical support, for online clans, internal corporate network for communication in real-time between staff members, and much more. IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a protocol for simultaneous communication over an IRC server using an IRC client such as XChat.
