You might want to check out bnr2.
It is a little harder to setup and get used to, but there are not many options for linux newsreaders.
There are a bunch of good ones for that other os.. I dont know how well any fo them work under wine though.

I used to use NewsbinPro w/ wine.... NewsbinPro IMO is THE best Binary News reader for windows...

It works pretty well under wine, with some minor performance ussies and display problems...

I heard they plan to release a linux version along with their news 5.0 windows version....

Lets pray ;)

Agent actually does work fine with Wine in my experience.

I'm quite happy with Pan myself... :)

Ran across this looking for newsreader on linux. Use xnes on windows and I find it hard to believe anything is bettah.

Anyway, Gonna check out pan and then maybe wine xnews and look into that other listed here that is supposedly the best.
