Howto install, configure and run Phenny and phenny-speak

Sat, 23/08/2008 - 20:04 — tdobson

"Foolproof" instructions to install and run Phenny and phenny-speak on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives.

I've recently rediscovered Phenny, a modular python irc bot, written by Sean B. Palmer, as well as Noah Slater's previously unreleased "phenny-speak" module which uses markov chains to provide a source of amusement.

Phenny is free software, licenced under the Eiffel Forum License 2
"phenny speak" is free software, licenced under a very permissive BSD-like licence.

Is gNewSense suitable for those moving from something a completely non-free?

Should usability compromise digital freedom to win users over?
