ok, I never really got into RSS feeds in XP, and I haven't had time to look into it for SUSE, so I'm asking what, if anything, people use to read RSS feeds on Linux.. don't tell me Google is your friend, please, I'm looking for personal favorites. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

I've used Akregator 1.0, it seems to do the job well but I've not really used any others so I'm not sure how it stacks up against its competition. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-21.7-default x86_64 SuSE Linux 9.3 (x86-64)

I just installed the Sage RSS reader extension to Firefox a couple of hours ago. It was extremely easy to install and seems to work OK. Added a Sage icon to Firefox toolbar for easy access. http://sage.mozdev.org/ -- Kelly J. Morris

If you don't want to answer questions, why do you bother sending mail?

My system is pretty much the same as yours, so try: Edit -> Preferences -> Web Features -> Install Software (Allowed Sites) Add "sage.mozdev.org" to the list and try the link again. HTH Dave

If you are on a web page that provides an RSS feed, click on the looking glass in sage, and it should get auto-discovered. Otherwise, bookmark the rss feed and add it to the "sage feeds" bookmark folder. Another method is to click the "live feed" button in the lower right corner of firefox. And finally, you can right-click in sage's sidebar window and select "new bookmark" and then you can enter the URL manually

I use akregator, because it's so nicely integrated into Kontact RSS readers are everywhere, it seems to be the single most popular development project. If you don't know what to write, write an RSS reader :) I used to use a extension for firefox that gives you the RSS feeds in a sidebar, that was pretty nice too

Try Blam! It's included in 9.3, and you can get the latest version from the URL in my sig. Alternatively, find a Planet site that aggregates feeds along a theme such as Planet SuSE: http://www.planetsuse.org -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org GNOME for SuSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org
