 I'm going to be setting up Usenet on a fairly small SysV machine, and
I'm wondering which version of the news software would be best to use.
I've heard good things about CNews's ability to run well on small
machines, so it sounds very attractive from that standpoint; however,
I'm worried about getting a complete copy (including the notes posted
by Henry and Geoff to various newsgroups), reliability, and how easy
it is to configure.

 What do people who run CNews think - would you go with CNews if you
had to do it all over again? Is it possible/easy for a fairly
experienced Unix person who has never brought up a news system to
install CNews fairly easily? Are there any cautions about running
CNews? Does anyone have a complete CNews distribution available by
uucp, or where I could easily get a copy?

 Thanks in advance.
