You can use the version in ports. It should install fairly easily. You can grab inn1.4unoff3 (suggested), it also installs fairly easily. This is what I use, and generally what I have been installing for customers. Both of these install without any unusual difficulties. As always, _READ_ the documentation. Particularly if you haven't set up INN in the past, but even if you have. >From an INN point of view, FreeBSD doesn't require any special "extras" or involve any "gotchas" that are specific to FreeBSD - so if you are not familiar with setting up news, you might ask around in news.software.nntp for assistance. If you're really hung, or eager to spend money, I do consult on news server configurations (not just FreeBSD specific), but generally my customers are interested in total system solutions, where I am involved in the design of the host system, I configure their system and arrange for feeds, teach their staff about day to day operations, and then perform periodic service and maintenance to guarantee smooth service (all the stuff they don't wanna bother with). In any case, you have a good, stable platform to run news on. As long as the box is reasonably configured, it should be "no problem" :-) ...
