Linux command line news.

Since news is mostly text anyway, the command line excels in this area. Newsbeuter is a fairly simple program to use and work with. Not only will it import opml files typically used by a lot of newsreaders, but you can easily add newsfeeds via an ascii file. News readers are also called news aggregators. Like the mail it is fast and I do not worry about looking at all the advertisements or the pictures.

To install:

$ sudo apt-get install newsbeuter
$ _

Step 1 Reading the news.

As easy as moving the cursor to the news feed you want to look at and pressing enter. Then with the list of articles cursor down again and press enter to read the article. you will press the letter "q" to back up step in the reader.
