#Linux on EFNet sucks. It's a constant flood of idiotic questions and
arrogant people, and in general it is very hard to find answers to any
serious questions you may be looking for. Personally, my favourite Linux
channel on EFNet is #LinuxOS. There are a lot of intelligent nice people
in there, and will usually gladly help you answer any question that can
not be readily found by RTFM. Everything from discussion about how many
rods and cones your eye has to analyzations of Linux's scheduler. Of
course, there are a fair ammount of idiots there too, and a fair ammount
of stupid questions. But most of those people get kicked. [;
