IRC is like a chat system based around public channels but with the ability to do IM-like personal messages as well. It's nearly as old at the Internet and often feels like that!
To connect to IRC, you'll need an IRC client. Some IM clients like Pidgin support many different protocol have support for IRC as well. If you already use one of these clients, you might trying setting IRC this way. That said, most people tend to choose to use dedicated IRC clients. The most popular free software client is probably Xchat and it should be easily available in almost any major GNU/Linux distribution.

The key pieces of information you'll need to configure any client are:
