You may see a sea7kenp username pop up occasionally.

gmane is a mail to usenet gateway service.
(Google doesn't like leafnode, by the way).
when you install leafnode and your favorite newsreader
and get them configured you will still have to download
an active list from the news service provider and then
have to subscribe to each group you would like to use.
so in the case of LKML the group name is:
gmane.linux.kernel
which is an alias used for the linux kernel mailing list.
when you use your newsagent to search for that group
you will have to pull articles to read (via whatever you
use to get messages). leafnode is what i use because i
understand how it works. other people use gnus, but
i've always been used to trn, rn, tin like interfaces
so slrn works well for me.
so basically there are three chunks to set up to get
going. leafnode, a newsreader/writer and the news
acct itself. none of this is super easy but doable to
anyone who likes to poke at linux/debian, etc.
Many thanks. I just got approval to use gmane and leafnode for purposes, such as this. There might be some excitement, at the Eye Blink Universe (
http://eyeblinkuniverse.com) in the next few Months.
i'd rather post public messages as that way if anyone
else is reading along or searching they can also use the
information if they like. that's why i like usenet.
Fair enough. Someone else is sure to combine your two, unrelated tasks on the same line, just like I did.
