Setting up a news system on Linux

These pages will give you some information about the setup of a news system on Linux. Since most users have a dialup connection to the internet, it  is necessary to read the news offline. For that purpose you have to install a local news server on your system, which will manage the news organisation. And how to do the setup of this thing, called INN,  is described here. Have fun.

News server setup:

  • Setting up a news system for offline reading using INN and suck
