Just compile it from source, even though I know it is in like EVERY package library.

If you're on GNOME, go to Applications (top left), Add/Remove, *Make SURE you're checking ALL packages* [should be some check box somewhere], search 'xchat'. That easy. :D

Backtrack 3, however = Hacking awesomeness
I managed to get into my schools network as an administrator and put a message on all the computers that read something like: "You have just recieved a virus because Internet Explorer sucks. EPIC FAIL
[get firefox]
Error code = 8002384313d"

BackTrack just is a Linux Operating System that comes pre-packaged with the tools, you can get them with any Operating System, but you will have to install them yourself..

Most GOOD hackers would probably not use BackTrack as they do NOT want to be seen as script kiddies (ewww).
