[ILUG] Faster news reading

[Martin Donlon]

Setting up a news server would probably be the best option, it means you
can read news offline aswell. Innd is pretty simple to configure for the
job, however there are servers designed specifically for what you need.
Try www.leafnode.org.

On a semi-related node. The newsserver recently vanished here in UL and
I'm trying to get a feed setup to skynet. Has anyone got any idea where
I should start looking to get a feed, who should you contact, do you
need to contact anyone?
