2 main choices for easy pulling news :
leafnode and slrn-pull. (a search at freshmeat.net or
linuxberg.com should find it, I guess.)
I use slrn-pull with slrn for ages, it's pretty easy to setup (there's
also a Quick-install-txt-file).
and works fine here :)
Let me know if it's working OK for you...
p.s. I'm still looking for some mov.-file of Linux on CNN this week,
does anyone know an URL for it ? (Can't find it at CNN, Slashdot, a.o.)
cheers,
Albert.
