Linux Feed Reader

Liferea 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.

In Mandriva 2006 , you can use urpmi(Package Manger)
to download and install this Feed Reader.

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi liferea
