Are there any good gui news readers? If not, what are suggestions for text news readers? Pine isn't going to work for me for news.

For KDE there are KRN, Kexpress, and Knode. KRN is the most advanced. If you try it, get at least version 0.6.11. Earlier versions that came with KDE sources didn't do thread sorting very well. 0.6.11 is much better. Kexpress has a very nice GUI and looks promising, but isn't very feature rich yet. Knode plays well with leafnode for offline reading. The GUI is pretty good but not all the features are there yet. All three are under active development I think. For GNOME there is a reader called PAN. I've heard good things about it, but have not tried it myself. I like Xemacs/gnus. I REALLY like gnus. It is by far the best news and mail reader I have ever used, and I've tried most of them. It makes use of the frames and drop down menus in xemacs, so it's sort-of a GUI. It is intimately integrated with the most powerful editor on the planet. If you're comfortable with [x]emacs, you might like gnus. If you hate [x]emacs, you probably won't care for gnus either... -- Bud Rogers http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html Though all my neighbors are barbarians, and you are a thousand miles away, there are always two cups on my table. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
