I have packaged up leafnode into a Debian package and have been using it for a couple of months and it is ideal for a small site. I'm hoping to get it up for ftp shortly. Mark Package: leafnode Installed-Size: 1152 Maintainer: Mark Purcell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 0.9-1 Provides: news-transport-system Depends: libc5 (>= 5.4.7-7) Recommends: news-reader Conflicts: news-transport-system Size: 53114 Conffiles: /etc/leafnode/config e87b3f31796df84da6738fcc41080292 Description: USENET software package designed for small sites Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net. . Only groups that someone has been reading in the past week are fetched from the upstream NNTP server. When someone stops reading a group, leafnode will stop reading that group a week later, and when someone starts reading a group, leafnode will grab all the articles it can in that group the next time it runs. . - Uses very little disk space and bandwidth compared to other servers. Obviously truer for 3-user sites than for 30-user, and probably wholly untrue for 300-user sites. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
