Re: A lightweight irc client???

I started using xchat with jessie now it's hexchat in chimaera. That's the default in Xfce . . . It is text based. No html. The on line version can be found at https://libera.chat/ but then you won't have logs locally. parazyd had to nursemaid me through the setup . . . I am not an irc nerd so can't help beyond that. Looking forward to seeing you there! You can share your humor in the #devuan-offtopic channel! Hehehe . . .

PS. Channel logs are here

Thanks for the recommendations!

(cough-cough -->  --no-install-recommends) tongue

HAHAHAHA!

I did a search in the terminal for irc clients. Several of them looked interesting. For now, I've installed Hexchat. I'll revisit others later. smile

Thanks again!
