Hello unixmen readers,
In this tutorial I will teach you how to install Smuxi, a nice cross-platform irc client that targets the Gnome desktop. I have been using it for a while now and I am very impressed by the speed on which this application performs. After installing Smuxi irc client you can easily open, join or find a group chat. I find this client very useful when I am looking for help in the Linux community.

– Open / Join Chat Dialog
– Find Group Chat Dialog
– Sorted and Reorderable Tabs

– Markerlines which divide old messages from new messages
