Ein eigener IRC-Server ist in der Regel Kunden von root-Servern vorbehalten, die sie viel Last erzeugen können. Für den kleinen Heimbetrieb ist das aber nicht von belang. Dank eines IRC-Servers hat man die Möglichkeit öffentliche und private Chaträume zur Verfügung zu stellen, entweder global oder für bestimmte Benutzer(gruppen). So kann man auf Tools wie ICQ oder besser Jabber in vielen Fällen verzichten.## Installation ##

apt-get install ngircd
```## Konfiguration ##

Der Server ist sofort startklar und kann genutzt werden. Einige Änderungen sollten jedoch an den Benutzern in den `[Operator]` Sektionen vorgenommen werden, damit keine Superuser den Server übernehmen.
