 	In gaim, do the following:

 	1. ^A (that's ctrl-a)
 	2. Add
 	3. Protocol -> IRC
 	4. Choose a screen name
 	5. Server: irc.eclug.net
 	6. Leave password and alias blank
 	7. Click Save, Click Close on the Accounts dialog

 	Now on the main gaim window:

 	1. ^C (ctrl-c)
 	2. Select your new "IRC" account from the dropdown
 	3. In the channel field, enter #eclug
 	4. Click "Join", and you're there.

 	Alternately, you could use X-Chat, which should be installed 
on your Linux machine. The process is fairly straightforward to use 
xchat to join the same network and channel, or you could do it 
'old-school' and just type:

 	/nick bob
 	/server irc.eclug.net
 	/join #eclug

 	That should work.
