      A nice thing about OpenFire is that it is just an open source and open standards XMPP server. So you can use any XMPP/Jabber client that you like. It comes with Spark, but there are lots of options on every platform. Very flexible. And you don't have to use the same one everywhere.

      Spark sucks and it's Java based on the client.. two strikes against it.

      The only things going for it is it is the native client and openfire has plugins to control it and it's one of the fewer XMPP clients that supports SSO (there are 2 or 3 others that do with plugins).

        What are your favorite clients? I am curious as to what people use. I am not sure my users are going to like spark. Looking for one that is stupid easy. My users like simple and plain and ZERO change. I can compromise with simple and plain, don't care if they don't like the change, its happening!

          I liked Spark when we had it, but needing Java made it heavy and slow and a pain to maintain.

            Jitsi looks like a good option.

              Check out Pidgin for Windows as well. Very popular, open source, mature and cross platform IM client.

                    Oh nice, did not know that it could be an IRC client too. Not surprising now that I type that out.

                      For IRC I like Hexchat, but I barely ever use it.

                        I like the look of pidgin. Will probably go that route.

                        Thanks again for all the help. That wasn't nearly as bad as I was thinking it would be. At least now I can say I have successfully done some Linux stuff!!

                            haha okay well I will entertain anything else anyone suggests but so far Pidgin is the one I like the best!

                              Pidgin has been a good choice. I like it as well because it is the default client on Linux Mint and is installed on the desktop by default.

                                For the best use of it in an IRC-centric scenario, you need to install a plugin.

                                  Ah, I've not done that, that would explain why I had not seen it in that light.
