On-line Real Time Help Using IRC
RC (Internet Relay Chat) is a way to chat with people from all over the world in real time. IRC channels dedicated to Debian can be
found on OEIC
To connect; you need an IRC client. Some of the most popular clients are HexChat; ircll; irssi, epic5 and KVIrc all of which have been
packaged for Debian: OFTC also offers a WebChat web interface which allows you to connect to IRC with a browser without the need to
install any local client.
Once you have the client installed, you need to tell it to connect to the server: In most clients, YOu can do that by typing:
Iserver
irc
debian.org
