IRC 26 July 2008 - 14:17

Archlinux.co.uk now has an IRC channel on irc.devnode.org. The channel is #Archlinux.co.uk, so be sure to have a look. I’m pretty new to IRC myself, so there’s a good chance I’ll do something wrong, so correct me if I do something stupid.

For those who haven’t used IRC before here’s how to create an account and join the channel:

1. Open up your IRC client - and connect to one of the irc.devnode.org servers. Since we are (almost) all UKers, nyx.devnode.org is probably our best bet.
2. Register a nick - this is where you’ll get your first taste of IRC voodoo, NickServ. Type the following command to register a nick: /msg NickServ register PASSWORD EMAIL-ADDRESS.
3. Join the channel - now for the easy bit: /join #Archlinux.co.uk

You will need to identify yourself every time you connect with the following command: /msg NickServ identify PASSWORD
