irssi For Beginners

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for this link. ]

"If you're reading this it means you have an interest in using irssi, need some help installing irssi or are just browsing. I use irssi daily in order to communicate with different people in IRC Chat Channels. I use irssi because I don't like dealing with loading up a full Graphical Interface, going through the connection process and then joining channels. I let my personal VPS maintain my IRC connection, through the use of screen, and never have to worry about this. Even if my server restarts for some reason, I merely restart screen and it auto starts irssi with all my settings loaded, connections made and channels joined. So, without further ado, lets begin!"
