Mandriva 2007.0 - Networking|IRC

irssi 0.8.10	GPL	Irssi is an IRC client
Irssi is a modular and flexible IRC client for UNIX that has only a text mode user interface (but as 80-90% of the code isn't text mode specific, other UIs could be created pretty easily). Also, Irssi isn't really even IRC specific anymore, there are already working SILC and ICB modules available. Support for other protocols like ICQ and Jabber could be created some day too. Irssi is one of the most popular IRC clients at the moment.
xchat 2.6.6	GPL	Graphical IRC client
X-Chat is yet another IRC client for the X Window System, using the Gtk+ toolkit. It is pretty easy to use compared to the other Gtk+ IRC clients and the interface is quite nicely designed. Build Options: --with plf Enable SOCKS5 support (need to download from PLF) --without dbus Disable DBus plugin --without perl Disable Perl plugin --without python Disable Python plugin --without tcl Disable TCL plugin

“A disgruntled ex-employee who was in charge of making sure we were Microsoft compliant turned us in to the Business Software Alliance,” [Ernie] Ball says. [...] “We were raided by armed Federal Marshals and completely shut down for a day. Then you have to swear you won't touch any data other than what is minimally necessary to run your business,” he says. “I don’t believe you should treat a customer that way.” [...] The company ended up paying a [USD]$90,000 settlement.

Ball [...] decided at that moment his company would become “Microsoft free.” According to Ball, “Everyone said we couldn’t do it. It took us about one year” [to convert to] a Linux-based network and UNIX mainframe.

“I haven’t had to buy XP, and I haven’t had to buy new computers.”
