I tried to read the help and got into a catch22 situation: there was no help because it had no browser defined, which I couldn't define. Also tried forumzilla. I had problems creating folders which are needed to place the feeders. I also needed to change mozilla/chrome and mozilla/components permissions to install this plugin. I didn't try hard: after a couple of minutes of fight I uninstalled it. So I am still using liferea which is not a rose garden but get the job done.

I've stopped using Evolution for the same reason. The KDE Kontact package does have a RSS along with Kmail, Knode newsreader, etc. pm Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] RSS feeds reader
If its of any use, I use the 'sage' extension you can download to Firefox 1.0 It sits as a sidebar whilst you surf in firefox and seems fast enough.

I am currently using liferea but I would like to try some others before making a decision. Any suggestion? This is one area that I prefer Windows (RSSBandit--still open source but based on .NET). As far as I'm concerned there's nothing in Linux that approaches the Windows alternatives, I used to use Liferea but find it painful to use now. Straw is even worse. The Syndigator based on GTK1.x was not bad--nice and fast used in conjunction with Dillo. There's also Firefox's Live Bookmarks and/or Sage (for regular reading Sage is better), and Opera's recent efforts include RSS capability, though I'm not crazy about the interface.
