IRC is easier imo. apt-get install irssi


What is the difference between IM and IRC?  I know IRC has been around for 
ages, is it mainly teh additional server-based services such as when people 
are on line and so on that distinguish IRC, or are there more improtant 
differneces.

And where is the unreliability of Jabber derived from - is this becuase the 
protocols are flawed or becuae a gratuit server is unlikely to give reliable 
service when busy?
