irc chat for porteus #porteuslinux on freenode

Post#1 by **ncmprhnsbl** » 06 Dec 2019, 05:08

i've made an irc chat channel on freenode #porteuslinux for anybody who is into that kind of thing.
i try to log in daily, so if you have some query or looking for help, grab your favourite chat client and stop by..

USM's hexchat works.

Any commands to get it to connect to #porteuslinux automatically when starting?

Kiwi IRC's (https://webchat.freenode.net/) works well too.

Enter your Porteus forum Nick name, #porteuslinux for Channel, check the reCAPTCHA box, click Start.

Oh, missed this one...

Actually IRC is a properly defined protocol.
Any client understanding/talking such protocol would be of course preferred...
One could think a client the equivalent of a ´app´.

Advertising the existence of a IRC channel is a recommendable initiative.
Thanks @ncmprhnsbl for the initiative
