[Techtalk] IRC --IM

[Ms. Piglet]

ksirc is the default KDE IRC install with some distros.  Having said that, 
I've used both ksirc and kvirc, and I think you got the better product 
right off the gitgo: I found ksirc to be less stable and less user friendly 
in general, and at the time, I was in a telecommuting work situation where 
IRC wasn't optional, it was the standard quick communication method between 
staff---so you generally left it open 24/7.

I've also used xchat, and I know a lot of people swear by it, but of the 
three, I really did prefer kvirc.  That *may* be due to the fact that it's 
more like mIRC, which is the dominant program for Windows and the first IRC 
client I ever used.
