Hi

Getting a small linux VPS for IRC. Is there a better client than irssi for Linux that I could use?

Thanks

    This.

    EDIT: Assuming you're just looking for terminal-based. You may also want to look at ZNC, and then use that with your regular client.

    Still use epic when I need to irc - works great. Why change?

    @justinb ++ tmux

    Because most people aren't masochists and don't have urge to make cool impression with listing pre-historical IRC clients which actually on one really use anymore. People use IRC mostly to communicate not to torture themself with nonsenses. I am not saying that EPIC, ircII, etc.. wasn't tools to use in distant 1995 (and even in those times soon came out better alternatives) but we have now (ie. decade or longer) more userfriendly IRC clients to use.

    I'd highly recommend HexChat. It's the completely free "successor" to xChat - which has been pretty much abandoned since 2010.

    Use pico as your default editor too? Granted, I haven't used IRC in a year or two- and hardly ever any more unless I jump on Freenode for something, but epic/lice work well.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
