...but I'm a little confused as to how to set it up. Any tips? What's
the best client for each OS?

Thanks in advance!!

Best GUI clients (IMHO of course):

Window - Hexchat

OSX - LimeChat

If you need more help, PM me. I'm more than happy to help get you
started :)

If you haven't given Textual a try I'd recommend it, much better than
LimeChat/colloquy/etc. imo

Sure, but who is going to _buy_ an IRC client.

Also, I'm more of a CLI guy anyway. irssi ftw!

Have you given weechat a try? I've made myself give it a few trials
but I always go back to irssi due to familiarity.

AdiIRC, mIRC, irssi, Hexchat, Weechat, Trillian...

There are so many options, try them and see what fits best for you.

Honestly, its 2015. He should probably stay away from mIRC.

lol, true indeed, been a mIRC user for a long time, and just got tired
of it eventually...
