Okay, I deleted parts of this message that didn't related to IRC.

IRC is one of the original parts of the Internet. It has been around
forever. There is a lot of information on the Web about IRC. In
addition, IRC clients often have documentation.

Here are a few links
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Instructions
http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents (I presume we'll be on freenode.)
http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml

I use Kubuntu and Quassel. I don't know what the default Ubuntu client
is. Some searching on the forums should turn up this information.
Otherwise, post the question to a Ubuntu forum. Might also look there
for IRC help.

Just set up a chat account in Opera 11.10. Hard to imagine anything
would be much easier. Step-by-step account setup. The only thing that
might be an obstacle is that Opera insists on downloading all 29000+
rooms, which takes a while. There's a button to join a conversation
(once it's published here). Searching for "tdf" located that channel.
