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 :)

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 :(

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 :)
