Hello Jame.

in gentoo default portage there is only 2.5.x

is there any competor to running inn ?, i only know hamster on windows :)

so fidogate is stable ?

does it support control channel msgs for cancel msgs ?, or other nice things 
that a user client might do with nntp protocol :)

 JC>    Sorry, Gert, it's not clear to me where you're seeing the

ahh, okay, that one is new for me, if inn is upgraded, one need to recompile 
fidogate, hard when fidogate is still not a ebuild :(

 JC> you're now running to make a difference to Fidogate?


it makes sense to me that ./configure in fidogate needs as minimal includes 
from inn to be compiled correct


but its still a shame that inn is like see 20 chickens fight of there 
cornflakes :)
