I keep hearing that there is a wealth of info and supports for opensource apps on irc so im going to have a try at it again. I havee a few questions.... Is it worth it? Can anyone suggest a good app to use? Im fairly comfortable in a shell environment. Also, anyone have a prefered how-to? I googled a bunch, but they seem to be app specific. Thanks in advance.
