From your LinuxMCE box

Go to the KDE desktop: Advanced > KDE desktop
Start Konversation: K > Internet > Konversation (IRC Client)
Hit the New button
1. Identity > Edit: Change the nicknames
2. Network: Freenode
3. Servers > Add: irc.freenode.net and close with the OK button
4. Auto join Channels > Add: #LinuxMCE and close with the OK button
5. Press the OK button
Select LinuxMCE and close the dialog with the Connect button

Step 3 is only needed the first time

From elsewhere

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 inthe supportchannel.
