I'm just wonderring what everyone else is using ... Currently I'm using
Netscape (ya, I know, it sucks) and it doesn't support 'ignoring' users
or threads or really much of anything ... I guess I'd like to be able to
support the PGP/GPG bit in case I decide to start using that as well ...

Anyhow ... I guess text mode would be favorable ... Eventually I want to
set up a DNS/mail/proxy (and all that other stuff) server for my home
network and, once I'm out of school, I'll probably only get into X for
games and what not. Thanks in advance.

I use slrn to read the news retrieved and stored by slrnpull, which is
really just a small newsserver.

It's just ACE. Easy to set up and use. Be happy to help you with the
configuration.

Here are some of the most popular newsreaders used in this group: [1]

slrn
Mozilla
Pan
KNode
tin
Gnus
mutt
pine
Sylpheed

[1] Based on the last ten days of posts, (roughly 1330).

You can find a long list of Linux news clients at
<URL:http://www.newsreaders.com/unix/clients.html>

Another way of finding out what people use is to look at their headers.
(Specifically the User-Agent: and X-Newsreader: lines).

Everyone has their personal fave. If you're on Linux, you'll always have
plenty of quality choices. For me, Pan rocks. http://pan.rebelbase.com/

Unreal Tournament 2003 rips along on Slackware 9.1. Beats Red Hat 9.0 for
FPS, 'straight outta the box' that is.
