There are a bunch of IRC clients for Linux, but one of the oldest is ircII. You can find ircII, or just irc, on just about any version of Linux. To start irc, just type this in a terminal window:
irc BobFromAccounting irc.freenode.net
And the irc client should launch. If you get an error message, then it probably isn’t installed. To install irc in ubuntu, type this:
sudo apt-get install ircii
