To connect, you need an IRC client. Some of the most popular clients are XChat, BitchX, ircII, irssi, epic4 and KSirc, all of which have been packaged for Debian. Once you have the client installed, you need to tell it to connect to the server. In most clients, you can do that by typing:
/server irc.debian.org
Once you are connected, join channel #debian by typing
/join #debian
