Re: How to IRC?

[Jude DaShiell]

People exist who aren't even graphically-oriented.  Not many of us mind 
you, but we do exist nonetheless.  I have only the command line version 
of talkingarch linux installed for that reason and memory limitations 
which may only permit a graphical user environment using orca to run 
with extreme latency if it runs at all; this machine only has a gig of 
memory.

Aside from that, I found erc works and takes my credentials from .bashrc 
to do so and it does not get automatically disconnected by remote 
server.  irc in emacs gets disconnected every time when connecting to 
freenode.net which is where erc goes to connect.  Why this is, I don't 
know.
