A lot of us are big IRSSI fans, a powerful console IRC client that when combined with Screen and SSH offers a level of remote connectivity and presence that's hard to beat. Here's a link to a great IRSSI "cheat sheet" that's great for getting started. The IRSSI online manual is also quite good. The real power of IRSSI is in setting it's configuration just like one likes it. To be honest, as an out of the box experience it's not that impressive, but once one spends some quality time with the configuration, it's one of the best IRC clients available.
