Figure 16.6 shows how to configure KNode to receive the official Novell support newsgroups,
including the openSUSE and Ximian application groups.
TIP
There??™s an even easier way to subscribe to the Novell support groups: Open http://
support.novell.com/forums/2su.html in Konqueror. Click any of the NNTP links on this
page, and you??™ll be asked if you want to follow this link. Click Follow. KDE will open
KNode automatically and download the current articles in the selected newsgroup.
Now click the up arrow in Konqueror, and you??™ll be taken to the main newsgroup page
to subscribe to more groups!
Setting up a client to read a particular news server is not hard. Generally all you need is
the server name and know whether you need to supply a password (that is, be authenticated)
before using it. Some news servers are public, allowing anyone to connect, but
most require some identification. By default, news servers use Port 119 to communicate
with clients. Like your mail client, if you expect to keep KNode open for awhile and want
to check for new articles/postings periodically, you can set the interval here.
