Linux is just a server platform, and attempts to make it anything more than that (desktop, embedded system, etc.) are silly. If you must absolutely have POSIX and a desktop, then Linux isn't for you. I would recomend using MacOS (http://apple.com). No doubt some people would agree with that, but there are thousands who do not and hundreds who are working precisely in opposition to that sentiment. Why is this different? The vvv NNTP patch works quite well, if you're comfortable compiling mutt for yourself. I quit reading Usenet a few years back and haven't been building in NNTP support since, but it was a good solution for me at the time. http://mutt.org.ua/download/ -- David Champion • d...@uchicago.edu • IT Services • University of Chicago
