I have X-Chat.

 Is IRC a minefield or is it ok to go in?
When i go to IRC i go at linux and linuxhelp.

rtgwbmsr:
It is a minefield...always. Especially if you have windoze. But if you don't, as long as you are careful, it is OK.

TheQuirk:
you forgot the most important part -- don't be a moron and IRC as root (decent networks ban/kick people that use root for security reasons -- both theirs and yours)!

eradicator:
IRC is safe, just don't mess with the "wrong" people. the only network that is really full of script kiddies is dalnet, and maybe some other small networks. otherwise, OPN(openprojects.net) has decent users, and so does Undernet.

TheQuirk:
you mean irc.freenode.net -- they changed their name.
