Liferea

Post by Alquimista »

It's a cool feed reader.

What is Liferea?

Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is an aggregator for online news feeds. There are many other news readers available, but these others are not available for Linux or require many extra libraries to be installed. Liferea tries to fill this gap by creating a fast, easy to use, easy to install news aggregator for Gtk/Gnome.

OK, I just added it to the repositories, I practically had it ready anyway. But I wouldn't exactly call liferea fast.

@gapan
Please consider to add Feed Subscriptions that are related to SalixOS, Slackware and Fluxbox, KDE, LXDE, Openbox, Xfce subjects (and maybe one or two that you have a special interest, to promote ;) ) to Liferea on the next time, when you'll update it.

Edit: It is much less intrusive on the disk I/O writing rate, but it is crashing on Slashdot feeds and other few feeds.
You can get it with slapt-get
