Linux Mint 8 and usenet.. NEED HELP

lazysuperhero · 10 May 2010 at 16:57

Hi everyone, I need help. I'm currently running Linux Mint 8 on my IBM x31. Great OS (i'm a bit of a Linux noob)

On my desktop pc running win 7 i use Alt.Binz Newsreader for my usenet activity and it's great, i love it. now i was wondering if anyone can recommend a programme i can use on Linux for my usenet downloading. Ease of install is somewhat important as i mentioned that i am a noob on linux but i can learn quickly if i have to. Thanks everyone.

It really is the best usenet client on any platform. You should be using it on windows too!
