Is there an irc application suitable to run in Ubuntu?

Asked by pedrotheswift

I have tried, unsuccessfully to run, Java runtime emvironment in Ubuntu 7.04, could you tell me if there is a compatible irc program by which I can run chat programs, such as Talk City?
I'm a complete newbie in Linux trying to evaluate several distros and I have a number of requirements, one of which is the ability to chat online. I have until this point been unsuccessful in this regard. My Computer is P4 winfast/K7s741 board, 2.6 gig Athlon cpu,1gb-ddr 400 ram, 120 gig hdd, on board sound and video, Ethernet adsl Modem, all working well.

Please don't open multiple questions on the same topic. If you want to add additional information to a question just open it and edit the question.

As for an irc program, as I said in question 8066, xchat is a good program. I'm not familiar with Talk City but if you just want an irc program to connect and talk on line then check out xchat.

sudo apt-get install xchat.

Can you help with this problem?
