Yes, most major IRC networks host a FreeBSD chat channel:
#FreeBSD on EFNet is
a FreeBSD forum, but don't go there for tech support
or to try and get folks there to help you avoid the pain of
reading man pages or doing your own research. It is a chat
channel, first and foremost, and topics there are just as likely
to involve sex, sports or nuclear weapons as they are FreeBSD.
You Have Been Warned!
Available at server irc.chat.org.
#FreeBSD on DALNET
is available at irc.dal.net in the US and
irc.eu.dal.net in Europe.
#FreeBSD on UNDERNET is
available at us.undernet.org in the US and
eu.undernet.org in Europe. Same provisions as
for EFNET apply - either don't ask questions or learn to
ask amazingly politely if you want help. It's a chat channel,
not a help channel.
#FreeBSD on BSDNET,
a smaller BSD only chat network, at irc.FreeBSD.org.
This network attempts to do more tech support and not be
as anarchistic as EFNET, UNDERNET or DALNET, but it's also
nowhere near as popular as a result. Why not volunteer to
answer FreeBSD questions on BSDNET today?Each of these channels are distinct and are not connected to each other. Their chat styles also differ, so you may need to try each to find one suited to your chat style. As with *all* types of IRC traffic, if you're easily offended or can't deal with lots of young people (and more than a few older ones) doing the verbal equivalent of jello wrestling, don't even bother with it.
