Cnews vs. INN for UUCP news?



I'm a very happy user of Debian, and have set up one of my machines with little
fuss.  Before I convert my main machine (ecomcon) to run Debian instead of
Slackware, I need to get netnews running.

Debian doesn't come with a configured news system, as far as I can tell.  I've
spent a lot of time trying to get INN to work, but each time I think I've got
things set up, another roadblock appears.  I've used and know Cnews, but try
finding an accurate pointer to the source ... it's a reasonably well kept
secret (or presumed to be so much common knowledge that it's never mentioned).

I'm looking for opinions about these two news systems and/or pointers to
working configurations for one or both using UUCP-only feeds.

Many thanks for any help!

Steve
