Trevor,
Usenet is just Newsgroups. I notice that you have an Oceanfree e-mail
address. Oceanfree should have a news server that you can log onto. If for
one reason or another, you can't do that and want a list of free
newsservers, try here:

As for a news reader program for Linux, try here:

Hope this helps.
Mike
