the best Linux newsreaders
Ah, Usenet newsgroups… Online communication and file sharing for the masses, still equal today to what it was before the advent of blogs, instant messaging and P2P networks: a fascinating universe with its own culture, from emoticons to killfiles and Godwin's law.
Today video chats and social networking services get more press coverage, but the newsgroups community is still alive and very active. It also retains peculiar characteristics. A newsgroup can be anything from a simple message or discussion board left over from the 80s to a multimedia file repository or any combination of those services.
Consequently, in order to get the most from Usenet, you need a specialised program that must be (at least) a hybrid between an email client and a file download manager.
