If your browser is properly configured to handle "irc" URLs you can click here:
irc://irc.freenode.net/linuxmce
Most IRC clients allow you to connect manually, simply type the following:
/server irc.freenode.net
Change your nick to your liking (as long as nobody else is using it):
/nick what_ever_nick_you_want
Then join our channel:
/join #linuxmce
Now you should be dropped right into the channel.
