Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I read news once in a while with pine and its kinda slow. I was thinking that one might be able to install a news daemon (is that right?) and when this machine normally connects to get mail a few times a day via cron have some news daemon scoop the lastest articles in groups that Ive subscribed to. Is this a valid way to get news articles? Seems to me be easier to do than staying online for half-hour or longer just to read some articles. Thanks.
