gmane is a mail to usenet gateway service. when you install leafnode and your favorite newsreader and get them configured you will still have to download an active list from the news service provider and then have to subscribe to each group you would like to use. so in the case of LKML the group name is: gmane.linux.kernel which is an alias used for the linux kernel mailing list. when you use your newsagent to search for that group you will have to pull articles to read (via whatever you use to get messages). leafnode is what i use because i understand how it works. other people use gnus, but i've always been used to trn, rn, tin like interfaces so slrn works well for me. so basically there are three chunks to set up to get going. leafnode, a newsreader/writer and the news acct itself. none of this is super easy but doable to anyone who likes to poke at linux/debian, etc. i'd rather post public messages as that way if anyone else is reading along or searching they can also use the information if they like. that's why i like usenet. songbird
