It would help if there were some instructions on the IRC meetings wiki for absolute noobs (like me) in IRC. I don't use IRC at all, not interested. However, I'd like to lurk in the meetings.
I opened Kopete and I've got to a point where I need to choose a server. Which server?
irc.opensuse.org (which is an alias for freenode).
should it be possible to have a server of our own on opensuse.org?
I hoped to join for 1/2 an hour from my bussiness place to notice they have setup a new firewall disabling any chat :-(
I have only the web :-(
it's pretty easy to setup a server (restricted to opensuse irc) - I had time to look, for it :-(
thanks jdd
I had similar problems and in the end I setup an NX server on my home machine, listening on port 443 for it's SSH connections. Even though it's only a 256k uplink from home, setting the NXClient to 'WAN' allowed me to have a pretty excellent desktop session running, all encrypted. I don't have any firewall problems any more. ;) Cheers Pete
