There are only two kinds of interfaces: good interfaces, and user interfaces. Now then. Here is a good interface first:

irssi

irssi is the IRC client of choice for many Un*x users. It is small, highly extensible, and works well with screen.

1. Connect to the freenode network by saying: irssi -c irc.freenode.net

2. You will be rewarded by this window:

3. Say: /join #srp (to enter SRP's channel):

4. You might find IRSSI Config useful: "This script will generate an irssi config file for you which will autoconncet to all your servers and channels on startup."

------------------------

Well, that was easy. Now, here is a more complicated tool, with a corresponding user interface...

ksirc

1. Start ksirc by clicking on something.

2. Add a new server:

3. Add freenode as your server and hit "connect":

4. Join the SRP channel by saying: /join #srp

5. Get rewarded with lots of GUI IRC stuff:
