IRC Chatting with HexChat on Linux Mint

If you need a IRC client then you can use HexChat which came with my installation.  If it is not installed on your system then go to software manager and search/install a version.

HexChat is under Internet when you click the start button.  Open HexChat and you will automatically be sent to the Linux Help Chat room.  To join a new channel;

• go to server tab
• click "List of Channels" (click "download list" if no list is showing up)
• find a channel to join

To join a new network;

• go to HexChat tab
• click "Network List"
• click a network then click connect

These are two basic way to navigate through chat room's on HexChat.
