If IRC is an issue, I found xchat-gnome to be really great.  It's in the
repositories so you can download it through Symantic.  It shows up under
applications>>internet.  All you really have to know is that you want is
freenode for your netework and #ubuntu for your channel.  Once you get
started there, you cn look at all the other channels.  It took me about five
minutes to get it working -- and I'm not anywhere near a power user.  It's
very intuitive and the GUI interface really helps.
