Clients
There are a range of IRC clients most of which take some getting used to - here are some recommendations:
Cross Platform
- Pidgin (http://www.pidgin.im/) - Does just about everything chat-wise.
Windows
- mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/get.html) - The most popular IRC client (free but you get messages on startup asking you to pay)
Linux
- XChat (http://www.xchat.org/download/) - Windows version isn't free but a nice GUI linux chat client.
- irssi (http://irssi.org/download) - Console based IRC client, clean and highly configurable.
Web-based
- mibbit (http://www.mibbit.com/chat/) - Browser based chat client, try to use a real client where possible.
