I've used KRN, which comes with KDE. It's not bad, but it's
not nearly as nice or as easy to use as Free Agent.
I never figured out how to do any filtering of messages or
anything like that with it. Unfortunately, I ran out of
drive space on KRN, and I didn't like it much anyway, so I
switched back to Agent32 on my Windows box. (It's nice to
have a Windows98 box for certain programs that ONLY work
under Windows <G>)
