There's a list of readers at http://blogspace.com/rss/readers, not all
are for Linux.
Straw (Python GTK2) is available from: http://www.nongnu.org/straw/
and is also packaged for Debian, available from the usual repositories:
at least unstable. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be RPMs around.
Many of the geek news sites have RSS or RDF files:
Slashdot: http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf
Kuro5hin: http://www.kuro5hin.org/backend.rdf
Advogato: http://www.advogato.org/rss/articles.xml
There are some unofficial feeds for Australian media at:
http://axiom.anu.edu.au/rdf (I presume they are parsing the site HTML to
produce those).
