Looking back to my own experience when I got involved starting with 10.3....
IRC was a new concept for me, and I tried to get it going on Pidgin. Can't remember why it failed exactly, so I let it slide for a bit. Then I stumbled upon xchat and installed that. After that IRC-ing was a piece of cake.
I've been using xchat for years, but a few months ago I changed to pidgin, and with the inclusion of some plugins, the experience is ok
However, I do think that in general, most users wouldn't think about needing IRC, so perhaps it should be an add-on rather than default install if space is needed for other things.
since we already install pidgin for jabber, novell GW, MSN, etc, we should have, IMO, pidgin as the default app for IRC. One of the things that made me switch to pidgin was for not having to use 2 apps for chatting -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
