    Speaking of newsreaders I'm a fan of slrn. It's a nice little commandline* newsreader that has all the functions one really wants, and take a little while to set up to taste.

    I also recommend eternal september as a newsserver.

    * = crossplatform, originally for unix-like platforms, dates back to 1994, last update was in 2012, and yes, it's in debian so just apt-get it.

    Tin is another reasonable option, if you're for whatever reason not happy with slrn. It's what I got the hang of quickest back in my early *nix days, and has aged just fine.
