Re: A Good Newsreader? Message #4 Posted by Ben Salinas on 11 Apr 2004, 11:51 a.m., in response to message #1 by Veli-Pekka Nousiainen You might try Opera. Though I have never used the newsreader part of it, the rest of the browser is by far the best one I have ever used. It is noticably faster than IE and has mouse gestures, which are just awesome. Of my friends who started using it, every one of them is still using it. Hey, its kind of like RPN... once you try it, you're hooked. www.opera.com -Ben Salinas

Re: A Good Newsreader? Message #5 Posted by Guy François on 11 Apr 2004, 2:30 p.m., in response to message #4 by Ben Salinas When it runs under Linux with Squid as local proxy server installed it is absolutely super-super-fast. Opera is by far the best browser available (I have installed and used Mozilla, Mozilla-Firebird, Netscape, KDE Konqueror (which is quite good), etc, nothing comes even close to Opera, as far as web-browsing is concerned, years ago it already had a fully integrated pop-up killer. As stated, once you have used it, you will know what you have been missing all this time.

News Rover (Win) - Pan (Linux) Message #7 Posted by Guy François on 11 Apr 2004, 2:10 p.m., in response to message #1 by Veli-Pekka Nousiainen For Windows: undoubtedly News Rover: can read through multiple newsgroups, search for messages containing chosen words, makes thumbnails of pictures, is very highly configurable and its installlation procedure is one of the very best. For Linux (which I use most frequently): Pan: yEnc embedded newsreader, very, very fast (multiple downloads of messages and attachments through real multi-threading) (rebelbase website) - can be installed through compilation or Vendor-specific rpm's. Best Greetings.

Re: A Good Newsreader? Message #8 Posted by Sam Hughes on 14 Apr 2004, 3:32 p.m., in response to message #1 by Veli-Pekka Nousiainen I like Xnews. http://xnews.newsguy.com/ I also like Gravity. http://gravity.tbates.org/ I didn't like FreeAgent that much. I'll have to try News Ranger.
