I like my news and I like to get it fast. I struggled to find a sleek but powerful RSS reader under Windoze, but I’ve hit syndication gold in Fedora via Liferea.
Out of the box Liferea comes with a smattering of subscriptions already enabled including CNN, Slashdot, Fedora’s rawhide notices, and other tech related feeds. The interface is sleek and easy to use, while still providing a collection of options that would make a Swiss Army knife seem jealous. You can customize fetch intervals, prune topics based on relevance, and archiving limits.
Liferea offers binary packages for most popular distros which have made it into their respective repositories as a permanent staple.
- Fedora: yum install liferea
- Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install liferea
- Gentoo: emerge liferea
