I can't help much with this part, as I have never set up the server end
before. I did find something on linux.com that may help a little.

There are many good clients for both Linux and windows. Just a few of
them for Linux can be found at the Linux App Finder pages,
http://www.linuxappfinder.com/internetandnetworking/chat or from
http://www.linux.com/howtos/IRC/xfree.shtml

That linuxappfinder site doesn't list console based irc clients, such as
bitchX ircII, but linux.com does at
http://www.linux.com/howtos/IRC/console.shtml

I personally use XChat (http://www.xchat.org) for irc on Linux. They
also have ports for windows and Mac on their download page.

Another very popular client (for windows only) is mIRC. It is not open
source, and not free with a 30 day evaluation. Then it would cost you
$20 (USD) to register it.

There is also an extension to FireFox called ChatZilla that claims to be
"A clean, easy to use and highly extensible Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
client.". I haven't used it before, but seems like an interesting idea.
You can get more info about it from http://chatzilla.hacksrus.com/

I think that you can also look into the SeaMonkey project (the fork of
the full mozilla suite) as it comes with an IRC client, also called
ChatZilla. Its address is http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/

I know of phpmychat from http://www.phpheaven.net/phpmychat:home but I
haven't used it before. I know that there are also many java applets
that would do this.

Try checking out http://www.google.com/search?q=web+based+irc+client

I am not sure about the others, but I believe xChat and konversation
(and probably several others) are included on the original installation
media. You can also install them via yum install.
