Boudicca,
You could add...
linux =
http://xchat.org..to your siggy. I am currently using xchat version 2.0.0 and it works great. And there's also a port for windows which I'll have to try next time I boot up the beast because I prefer it to mirc. Now it supports tcl scripting so it offers lots of stuff to play with.
Everyone else:
When/if amiga.org goes down, remember the channel will still be there. It's really good. Plus I might be there. Come and say hi.
It's dead easy to connect to. And even if webchat isn't your favourite network, most irc clients allow you to connect to more than one at a time and it uses very little bandwidth. There is no (good) excuse not to join the fun.
:-D
