Yes, I've set up the Undernet ircd on Linux a couple of times. Some
arcane trickery involved with connecting it into a network of servers
(it works more-or-less out-of-the-box for a standalone server), but once
its up I've found it very stable. It puts hardly any load at all on the
machine with small numbers of users (about 30) and performs very well;
I've not checked it with large numbers of users.
