What is #linuxhelp ? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#linuxhelp is a channel dedicated to helping anyone who uses Linux and
for creating a place where we can all chat, ask questions and have
some fun. We are always employing new operators for the channel...so
you never know...you could someday be in charge!

To get onto #linuxhelp you need to log onto the BeyondIRC network. To
find the latest server addresses for BeyondIRC go to
http://www.beyondirc.net



Who founded #linuxhelp ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#linuxhelp was founded by Linux nutter AxeManiac, who lives in the UK.
Annoyed that he could'nt find a decent, well controlled Linux channel
for all levels of user, he registered #linuxhelp on BeyondIRC.



How do I log on to #linuxhelp ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To get you started though, here is some steps to getting on BeyondIRC
and #linuxhelp

1. Get an IRC client. If you are using Windows, then go to
http://www.mirc.co.uk for the mIRC client. Other windows clients
include pIRCh and CHAT. Alternativly if you are using Linux, you could
use KSirc (http://www.ksirc.org) for an X Windows client or BitchX
(http://w3.one.net/~roz/software/irc/bitchx/) for console mode.
Another alternative is IRCII. Browse the web to see which one you
prefer.

2. When you have downloaded a client and installed it, load it up and
see in the server list if there is a BeyondIRC server. mIRC usually
has a couple of servers listed, in which case you just need to select
one, type in your desired nick and log on. Simple! If you dont have
any servers for BeyondIRC though, don't fret!...check out
http://www.beyondirc.net for the server listings.

As an example, below is the details for the server I log onto. Try
using it!

DESCRIPTION: BeyondIRC
IRC SERVER : babylon.beyondirc.net
PORT(S)    : 6667, 6668, 6669
GROUP      : beyondirc

By the way...you don't need a password :)



How do I register my nickname?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To register your nick so noone else can steal it, type:


   /msg nickserv register <password>


Well there ya go...follow the instructions and come on see what ya
think. It's good fun and handy in those late night installation
sessions when you cant get the damn soundcard to work :)

NOTE FOR NEWBIES: IF you are new to linux, #linuxhelp is a good place
to ask questions on linux from people who know about it. Seeya there!



Who controls #linuxhelp ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In #linuxhelp the people in charge are called Operators. The operators
are the names at the topic of the list with a @ next to them e.g.
@AxeManiac. Channel operators have control of the channel and can kick
and and ban people from the channel if they violate the rules. Our
channel operators however are VERY fair, and only kick and ban people
in extreme circumstances.

Below are the operators in #linuxhelp :

	AxeManiac	axemad@geocities.com
	ktulu		tripp@nkn.net




If you have a complaint with #linuxhelp or a #linuxhelp Operator, then

axemad@geocities.com . Upon reciept of any complaints, an
investigation will take place to resolve the situation.
