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'm trying out "tin" right now....someone at work who saw me using mutt as my mail client recommended it. I'll post back my results.

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.
