I have never used IRC, but it seems to be listed everywhere I look. So, I figured it's about time I learn. However, after perusing the ports collection, I see that there a just too many choices. Can someone suggest a starting point, i.e., which IRC to install first? I am running FBSD 3.4R with KDE.
