open up a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install irssi

Not all distros are APT based

[chrisname]

I was thinking that.

[Incubbus]

[Albatross]

I'm going to shamelessly bump this thread. /me shamelessly bumps this thread.

/shamelessly bumps also, so Albatross isn't alone.

Joining.

I idle there a lot. Usually I'm just at work, but I idle even when I'm at home.

[Pax]

Yep, lots of idling going on.

Hey lets join the IRC, even you're idle. It's still nice to see huge number of people online (even idle)

[Incubbus]

Is the server offline?^^

[Albatross]

Well, at least 6 idle people is better than 3 idle people, lol. It could use some more activity, though.

[Disch]

It's so hard for me to be on during the week but I try to be on on weekends. =(

[blackcoder41]

People join the IRC, you just have to.

How does this work? I got irssi on my Linux Terminal now, but I don't know what to do. ( I connected and joined, like instructed in the first post. )

[chrisname]

I've never used irssi, but with XChat all you need to do is start it, select a server (or enter the address of one if it isn't listed), wait for it to connect, and then join a channel. When you join the channel, you can communicate with people.

I've joined the IRC idle party aswell now! :D
I suggest everyone do! It's great fun!

OK - I'm popping in via Colloquy

[Kyon]

Got it to work, but EVERYONE is idling.
