Distribution Support
Certain distributions may package UnrealIRCd, avoiding the need to compile it yourself. However, using a distribution-provided copy of UnrealIRCd will limit the flexibility that comes from compiling third-party UnrealIRCd modules. If you only need a vanilla UnrealIRCd, however, the distribution's package may be the way to go.
