Found this thread whilst searchimg for a newsgroup client. Presume not much call amongst the community for this then......

So just wondered if as a work round I could install easy Debian and then install a newsgroup client that runs on that? (obviously this assumes there is one) This also means my second question is what newsgroup clients run on easy debian?
Thanks

Good afternoon everyone,

after spending sometime with my due diligence (search button) i have not seen anyone ask about a newsgroup client in the N900 section of the boards, im not 100% sure if this should be posted in the Maemo 5 section or here and will not spam the forum trying to find out. however i will be getting a N900 next week (shipped but with all this snow on the midatlantic who knows really) and wanted to use it as a netbook replacement, does anyone know if theres a newsgroup reader such as "SABnzbd", or when one would be available, would other *nix newsgroup clients work with maemo5? has anyone tried to port one. any help would be appreciated, i cannot test till i get the device but im greatly interested in a NGClient as opposed to bittorrent.

thanks everyone.

I tried this program for subscribe to newsgroups but I can't confirm the subscription to newsgroup. Where is the "OK" button? I tried many shortcut but none confirm the subscription.
I resolved my problem editing the file /home/user/.claws-mail/folderlist.xml to myself.

Does this mean that claws email works as NNTP client on N900?

What about pan: I read that Version 0.133 is for Maemo too:
"Operating systems support:
- Debian
- Fedora Core 6
- Gentoo
- Mandriva
- Maemo
- SuSE
- Ubuntu (Breezy, Dapper and Edgy)
- Ubuntu Fiesty AMD64
- Windows"

But there are only sources:

Any deb for this?

Other usenet clients?
