Like Derek said, RSS is Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary, or RDF Site Summary, depending on who you ask. It's an XML-type document that describes the "stories" on a page. A user can put the RSS URL in an aggregator and the aggregator displays it. For Linux, there are a few aggregators: Liferea (rpm available for 9.2 or 10), Syndigator (now in GTK2), Straw (don't know much about it). There's also an RSS panel plugin for Mozilla/Firefox. I'm looking forward to the day when weblogs, news sites, email, usenet etc. are all integrated in one interface like an aggregator: read a story on the net via the aggregator, post a reply directly from the aggregator, or email the author, same with usenet and mail. They're all just messages, after all. Todd
