I just got for a new PC and before committing suicide with M$ I wanted to
take that opportunity to try, hem, some alt OS. Went for ubuntu and after
one hour briefing from a friend (I didn't speak *nix at all) I was much
impressed by the easiness of installation. Less than 2 days later I have
my machine OK with all the needed software running on it, on a well
organized and faster machine (build almost the same for the wife, but with
XP) all that starting from zero knowledge on my side. I probably won't
switch back to .$. Ever.

Now to the question.
Which newsreader do you, you *nix users, use? After trying some
unsatisfying ones, I found PAN, from which I'm posting right now, that I
find pretty good, but I wonider if there are other good ones to try before
I make the final choice.

tin ;-)

Before I went GUI, I was using slrn and slrnpull, but I don't like slrn's
non-intuitive interface - it reminds me too much of vi. =:-O

Cheers!
Rich

When on FreeBSD I rather liked slrn. Setting it up is a bit of a chore
but after that it's a breeze. Keep a second VT with the list of
ctrl-key commands in the help file.
