IRC is Internet Relay Chat - an old form of peer communication. It is a live chat, similar to texting on an a phone. IRC is open to an unlimited number of people who can come in and out of a chat room as they please.

To join an IRC channel - you have to know which channel you want to go to - and you have to use IRC software on your computer. For Linux, there is XChat and Pidgin. Or, you can join an IRC via your browser.

The easiest way for OSE people is to go to IRC page.
