Recommended RSS viewer?

I happen to be late-adopter of some technologies. But now I decided not to hold off joining the RSS bandwagon anymore. The question is, then, one of selecting a RSS viewer. 1. What features should I look for in one? 2. Which viewer is recommended for Linux users?

I have the feeling that my Fedora Core 1 Linux installation on a IBM ThinkPad R40e laptop is too slow to start up applications. Once an application has been started, its response time is adequate. This happens even when I start up only a term and a relatively fast application (AbiWord). The

I have FC2 on Dell Inspiron 8200, P4 Mobile 2.0Ghz, with 512 MB and performance, in KDE especially, can be outrageously bad. Menus can take couple of seconds to open etc. I also run Debian on the same machine, same version of KDE (3.2.2), and the difference in performance is very obvious. I
