Anyone on the group use linux for newsgroup reading?
Looking for suggestions.
I used slrn a while ago but wondering about other clients.
I would prefer a command line option.
Thanks

I do, at home... Thunderbird for text groups. Pan and/or hellanzb for binaries.
oops, you said command line. There's a whole following of command line types using slrn/tin/mutt/etc. Whenever talk goes OT onto newsreaders, someone always points out alt..newsreaders, where all the GUI challenged hang out.

Well, if you happen to use Emacs as your editor with slrn then you might try Gnus (M-x gnus). Very powerful newsreader with the benefit that it works the same in any Emacs on any platform, if you have to use other platforms sometimes.
I have heard good things about pan but have never used that; that may require GNOME.
Here's a list of options:
