If you mean the irc client, it has it.
Internet>XChat IRC

No. mIRC is not available for Linux.
All the rest are not mIRC. If you are accustomed to mIRC
they are a distant second place. Although they work, they
aren't mIRC.

I use mIRC through Wine. It's mediocre but it works.
Slow, kludgey and generally junk.

Just keep hoping, as I do, that Khaled will port mIRC
to Linux someday but don't bet on it.

Could You tell me how?

Who is Khaled anyway?

thanks

Khaled Mardam-Bey is the author of mIRC.

Make a shortcut to the mIRC executable on your HDD.
1. That's assuming that you have a working Windows system
with mIRC installed.
2. Click on Start / Run. Type winesetuptk. Follow the prompts.mIRC
3. Wine will automatically detect the Win32 executable when you
run the mIRC shortcut. Follow the prompts.
4. Adjust the settings to your liking: Managed vs unmanaged windows;
the path to the windows system directory.

xchat runs rings around mirc.
multiple servers, multiple tabs, solid, and no annoying noises.

Right.....and Open Office is equal to or better than MS Office 2003,
LinuxCAD is comparable to AutoCAD, Gimp is just as good as Photoshop,
and....and....Linux is as good or better than MS Windows.


I'm sure everyone agrees.

How does x-over office compare to wine?
I haven't tried it yet but it may be worthwhile.

I only have have 8 machines in this office. Small by comaprison to
most small to mid-sized offices. Two of them are primarily Linux (Debian).
If I could find a way to run Autocad or find a decent, comparably priced
substitute, I would switch every machine in the engineering dept to Linux.

Microstation is the only candidate that I know of but it is 3 times the cost of Autocad.
I am not even certain that microstation will run on linux.

I may need to search for x-over and see about it.

simply open a terminal and write xchat, then you should figure out since it looks similar to mirc
you can also connect to irc with gaim or bitchx
