For a client with one of the cleanest interfaces I've seen, try sirc.
apt-get install sirc
When you wish for something a bit more customisable, try epic.
apt-get install epic4
You might want to put the following in ~/.ircrc (if using epic4) to
reduce some of the updating clutter and make things a bit easier to use. This assumes you want to
automatically receive incoming files and dcc chats. If not, remove what
you don't like.
#cut here#
# dcc auto-get for chats and files
on ^dcc_request "% chat *" {
dcc chat $0
}
on ^dcc_request "% send *" {
dcc get $0 $5
echo DCC: getting $5 from $0.
}
# status line
set status_query (Query=%Q)
set status_channel on %C
set status_format %V: %@%N %C %+ %Q
# messages
set beep_on_msg msg
on ^msg "*" { echo MSG: $0: $1- }
on ^notice "*" { echo Notice: $0: $1-
}
#cut here#
This is just my personal preferences.
