Linux News Readers - A call from the dark ages
,----[ Quote ]
| Contrary to popular belief, Usenet is not dead. It's not a dying technology,
| nor is it an old school technology that is going the way of classic services
| such as Kermit and Zmodem. Usenet is one of the biggest information sharing
| and collaborative tools out there in the world, spanning the entire globe in
| ways that mailing lists, websites, forums, chat rooms and other interaction
| mediums can't even hope to achieve. That's not to say that these other
| mediums and tools aren't relevant, because they are. Each brings a special
| set of benefits to the online world. To omit one is to injure the whole.

| program called Pan News Reader that, while still in heavy development, could
| be another contender to fill the need for a good quality graphical news
| reader for Linux.
