What newsreader should I use?</A></H2> <P>There is not *the* newsreader for Linux, like there is not *the* editor. My favourite newsreader is emacs in gnus mode which is the most configurable reader for Linux. Many people are using slrn and tin on a terminal, many people use knews under X. There are also trn, nn and a lot more reader, so just try what you like. The only reader you shouldn't use is Netscape, it is big, feature-less, unstable, and it creates sometimes broken postings. However, it is your personal decision. <P>Anyway, knews is no bad idea for your first experiences as it is very user-friendly and easy to understand. <P> <HR> <A HREF="News-Leafsite-7.html">Next</A> <A HREF="News-Leafsite-5.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="News-Leafsite.html#toc6">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
