== Staying Connected ==
There are several ways to stay connected to IRC all the time even as you move from location to location (there these are somewhat advanced techniques -- don't worry about this when you're first getting started!):
* Use the [http://irssi.org/ Irssi] client (which is character-mode) in conjunction with [http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ GNU Screen] on a machine that is constantly running. You can then connect using ssh from any computer, disconnect, and then reconnect from another computer. See the [[Irssi Tutorial]] for basic instructions.
* Use a graphical client with on a machine which is constantly running, and use a remote-GUI program such as VNC to connect to that machine from wherever you travel.
