Knode is an on-line newsreader.

1) Install a news server; Leafnode is a small, simple server. If you've
never used it before a bit of RTFM and looking at the options in
/etc/news/leafnode/config is about all it takes.
2) Switch to Pan -- a GTK application -- which can be used as an off-line
newsreader. It has some advantages over Knode and some disadvantages.
I install Leafnode and Knode earlier this week. It didn't take much time,
but I had used Leafnode for a short time a few years ago. Even if I dumped
Knode and went back to Pan, I'm sure to stick with Leafnode for quite a
while.
