There are many choises, there. DALnet's bahamut ircd, Undernet's ircu, and a whole lot of them announced on freshmeat every day! :P I personally like hybrid too, since I've seen the source, and liked the way it builds, the fact that it produces very minimal warnings with certain 'strict' flags of the compiler, and the thing is actually readable code I can modify to my taste without much trouble :) The installation notes of hybrid are pretty clear, and easy (for some definition of "easy") :) Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
