Mirc?

[Yezinki]

Hi,

How do I install mirc chat app on Ubuntu?

Thanks.

[mastablasta]

there is no mirc for linux.

use x-chat instead or any of the many alternative solutions (quassel and such).

mIRC is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client for Windows. Why don't you try a native Linux alternative?

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat

If you really want to install mIRC you can use wine:

Thanks all for sharing your expert opinions.

I am gonna give Xchat IRC a try.

I believe that XCHAT irc support was dropped 2 years ago.

I'd like to know what is the IRC client that replaces xchat in the fondness of regular ubuntu IRC chat users?

Years ago I used IRC ("mirc") to get previews of new classical music releases. Is that still possible?

XChat is still alive and kicking although it has been a while between releases. Another solid choice is irssi and this soon to be defunct guide should provide a start:

Mind you there is a perfectly acceptable web based client that can easily be used to join #ubuntuforums on Freenode:

Lots of choices!
