Hi,

I have used four over the last couple of months, kopete, konversation, 
x-chat and irssi. If you are looking for a GUI client then irssi isn't for 
you. If you are using gnome or lots of gtk apps then x-chat will blend in 
well. konversation is similar to x-chat but is for kde, so if you are a kde 
guy then it should be good for you. Kopete is in the style of a IM client, 
and in fact supports all the common IM protocols, but if you are a power 
irc users it isn't for you.
