Great! What about one for just the contents of the latest weekly news, not
a listing of weekly news?

What would be a good tool for reading rss feeds? I've heard a lot about
them but I've never really know what to use to read them. Can
thunderbird do it, or are there other apps that are good for reading them?

I'm using the rss-grab for gdesklets. I can then embed the rss feeds into
my desktop.

Andy,

There are a few of these apps in portage. I'm currently using
liferea. I also liked RSSOwl (java based) but this one isn't in portage.

Regards
Jose

I prefer www.bloglines.com, works great from home, work, on the road
etc. No need to worry about synch problems of already read feeds or
anything.

Bloglines is free, web-based and has some nice add-ons for FireFox to do
notifications etc.

Odd...I tried to install aggreg8 but got "there was an error -214" when
trying to install. Any idea what might be happening?

erm...stupid question...where does firefox store settings? It's doing
weird things in that I removed my entire .phoenix direcory (my settings
have been here since it was called phoenix, don't know if it was
supposed to be changed but the correct bookmarks file was there).
However, after removing it I still have all my old settings, including
extensions. I don't see any firefox, firebird, or mozilla directories
in my home dir, so where is it getting all the settings?
I think I might have updated firefox without cleaning up my old settings
and something is causing aggreg8 to not install, but now I can't figure
out how to remove the settings.

How about for a crazy guy like me who uses neither gnome nor kde? :)
In case you're wondering, I'm using the kahakai window manager.

.phoenix

Was the name of the project before firebird.

It used to be ~/.phoenix, but in nightly builds it's ~/.firefox now.

Some (old) extensions might be installed system-wide in
mozilla/firefox's directory instead of ~/.firefox.

Yea, but I removed .phoenix and all my settings, including bookmarks,
were still there. I checked for both .firebird, .firefox, .phoenix, and
.mozilla directories in my home dir, and none exist, yet my bookmarks
and settings are all still there. I'm very confused now...

I don't know. However..

Gmane.org has a list2news gateway that I use to follow all my mailing
lists as newsgroups, including both this one, and the GWN list. They also
have a list2web gateway of the same lists.

LWN.net also carries GWN. (LWN is Linux Weekly News, but while they have
a weekly edition, they do updates daily, throughout the day, as well/)

Blarg, that was oh so incredibly stupid. Turns out firefox was still
running from before I removed the .phoenix directory. I couldn't find
it in any of my windows, but firefox-bin was still running, so whenever
I tried to start firefox it would just make a new window.
Now to go reset all my settings...
