Redhat Linux 7.2 Newsreader?

[billy_gates]

Where can I find a good newsreader for Redhat Linux 7.2? I need one that can download binaries.

You probably have several already installed. KNode and Netscape come to mind right off but there are many more.

Those 2 newsreaders can't download binary images

You're too young to be looking at nudy pictures anyway...

its called warez, there are so many places on the newsgroups to DL linux crap, Nudy Pictures, you are too steretypical. not everyone is exactly like you.

Downloading Linux over newsgroups?  And I suppose that downloading Warez is ok, unlike downloading nudies.  At least you are under age so they can't throw you in jail, but they can take your computer away.  It's a shame that most parents are clueless about computers and their children get away with this garbage....

lol Void .... and you didn't have a 5ft stack of porn books stashed away somewhere when you were 15?

And as for the issue of piracy, well ... I think piracy doesn't hurt the software industry as much as the software corporations try to let us think it does. If this was the case they all would have gone out of bussiness by now    

In my experience, people who pirate software are either very young (and without any (or at least very little) means of actually buying software who depend on their parents to buy it for them) or are the "try before you buy" types. What is left are the real die hard pirates who never buy any software (these are by coincidence (again, in my experience) the only people who actually sell the pirated material and make money out of it)

Personally, I am in the "try before you buy" category (but not too long ago, while still in college, I was of the "hopelessly poor type"    )

To get back to the original subject, binary newsgroups suck (especially for cd images, which get cut up in 6000 pieces orso) IRC and/or FTP boards are a lot better imho.

Wow .... this was a lot more typing then I originally planned on

What *I* did when I was under age is not the point. How smart I was when I did it is the point.  I certainly didn't put my name/age on a billboard on the edge of town stating I am looking for porn and illegal software, please help.  And now that I am not under age I certainly will not help someone who is under age in this quest. And I certainly will not help anyone with warez, I can't afford it.  I happen to agree that Warez helps, not hurts companies but it is still illegal and they will prosecute where they can. These kids at *least* need to learn how to do this stuff quietly or they'll be looking through bars one day.
