| xchat | <reply> xchat and xchat-gnome are old IRC clients which are not actively maintained outside of Ubuntu/Debian. Some versions of Ubuntu do not include them. Users of 14.04 onwards should strongly consider using hexchat instead, which has good upstream support and is widely recommended by the IRC community over xchat and xchat-gnome. | Madpilot Added on: 2011-10-28 02:25:13 Last edited by dax Last modified: 2019-04-22 04:43:24 Requested 76 times |
