Sylpheed comes to mind. It's not full featured like I would like it, but it
works well. The other possibility is AGENT... They are windows applications
that run perfectly under wine on linux. I've used it on a number of systems,
reliable, fast, etc..
That's about it for GUI readers... for CLI I would recommend SLRN.
Either of the 4 mentioned newsreaders have the ability to be accessed by a
number of clients. The weaker of the 3 is AGENT as I haven't been able to get
it to automatically download new usenet messages. Anyways, you can setup any
of the above offline newreaders on a server somewhere and access it over a
network using nfs shares.
