xchat or hexchat

When I started using IRC I settled for Xchat.
Later I realized that the client used to disconnect with following error:
* Connection failed. Error: (336031996) error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

It was quite frustrating...

Later I found HexChat (I should have found it earlier). My bad :)
With Hexchat I didn't face much issue about disconnection. What I mean is HexChat reconnects smoothly after disconnection, which is not the case with XChat.

Interface is almost similar.
(experts may correct me)

kernel compilation error "kernel is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' "

I got this error while build the kernel.
Actually I am creating the binaries in a separate directory (TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT).
 sachin@sachin-ubuntu$ make O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT zImage
  GEN     /home/sachin/projects/tegra/kern_out/Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
  Using /home/sachin/projects/tegra as source for kernel
  /home/sachin/projects/tegra is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
  in the '/home/sachin/projects/tegra' directory.
make[1]: * [prepare3] Error 1**
make: * [sub-make] Error 2**


Even after I have executed following it didn't go away. As there will be scripts/files created in kernel source dir as well as TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT.
make O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT mrproper


So I have to do 2 mrproper
make mrproper
make O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT mrproper

And then it worked fine.
