Are there FreeBSD IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channels?
</heading>
<p>There are two channels about FreeBSD on IRC:
<p>Yes, most major IRC networks host a FreeBSD chat
channel:
<enum>
<item>The main channel is &num;FreeBSD on the EFNET. You can
use your regular IRC server for it.
<itemize>
<item>Channel <tt>&num;FreeBSD</tt> on EFNET is perhaps the most
popular. Available at server <tt>irc.chat.org</tt>.
<item>You can point your IRC client to <tt/irc.FreeBSD.org/
This server is on BSDnet and hosts &num;FreeBSD. This
is not the same channel.
</enum>
<item>Channel <tt>&num;FreeBSD</tt> on DALNET
is available at <tt>irc.dal.net</tt> in the US and
<tt>irc.eu.dal.net</tt> in Europe.
<item>Channel <tt>&num;FreeBSD</tt> on UNDERNET is
available at <tt>us.undernet.org</tt> in the US and
<tt>eu.undernet.org</tt> in Europe.
<item>Finally, you can also join <tt>&num;FreeBSD</tt> on BSDNET,
a smaller BSD only chat network, at <tt>irc.FreeBSD.org</tt>.
</itemize>
<p>Each of these channels are distinct and are not connected to
each other. Their chat styles also differ, so you may need to try
each to find one suited to your chat style.
