--=-=- Hi folks, in the past it happened more and more often that I had been asked by people if I could show/help them with joining an IRC network. Those folks are, or shall I say, have been mostly ordinary Windows users (think of retired Uncle Bob). After I educated person #8 on the fine arts of IRC, I thought to myself, that ain't going to scale if we continue down this road sir... I decided to write a fool-proof tutorial an point folks to it from now on http://sunoano.name/ws/public_xhtml/misc.html#irc_with_pidgin --=-=-Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJKNfigAAoJEP1u/LUtID1UX58QANmSFwINVEBZ0HdJRIudBLK3 roEQIpqS7C70dMKahfvQ2S62gscVXjoLh+Z2E33vPEnI4NqA4szC9ZK5dTbr2xQo jSTHD25ZIXYlDGNHWbDxiTh8sOkfOAScrnL5LNaKgykpE/TK9iwo154q9HnuOjmD CxiJoG8PE0M7XWlgg8vO3y6cJoZPHPl8WZ4P/KXd546iU7Nq31KF/PnxGpmmmEA6 FMSRCTaXZyt3BE6pZUBi8Llmto9WIw1glldlXX0MwcrQSvgyYv6jetSnLjHDOqXg +fjhVY7eRgEMp+pNr6vNiYj10hNiZT+l3r37Qg4rqxgyF6MQQZa4HyQh6d8ooO8i JzR4VJ+v9SsazjWK/aKqSJRLdsdK7I66HXTf8kPQkhgq+pKwktkcL1yyZ8Q9i8gc +/jMZii7XU7s3tdBGOoAjmQxxZ4sdorAX6HH7xRoq73Mz39f0+oUJ1yV+LZidyyB QoPa0bovvVeOY73Xxq+3NvOlHUFGthdnGmEIewW41rTAySdiNjiJYw7/UgM5jT9z 3wHKjGTIh33OWq7blYrsfehawpcAQU+mk/A+GX01STrh8+0EssuE2S7qQoj0q+W4 STlb7cgxHdEJ0pbVHgxdPL4wHamKMuQLTeKZA6k6RnAPqqpPvz750c1THh0kpasT P9umJePmBeq1FXfv3nyd =LthO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--

(I do use it for MSN, Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk). I use IRSSI, myself, but, for the clueless n00b, I would recommend a tool like konversation, kirsc, xchat, or, even, seamonkey-irc (shame we don't have seamonkey in our repos. I used it on PCLOS and Ubuntu for my browser and e-mail. Faster than FF and TB). /tony -- http://www.baldwinsoftware.com free/open source software tcl yer os with a feather...

--=-=- Dotan> Nice. Any chance of doing a Quassel version for KDE user? Hehe ... Well, I am a GNOME boy so as far as I am concerned no. I also lack the time.
