Those are all great reasons.  I've just installed it and will have to
give it a try on this here Linux box.

Actually, one of the things I like about Usenet is that if you get bored
or itchy for a new 'experience' you can try one of dozens of readers,
just for fun.  I've used Alpine, SLRN, Knode, Pan, and some other old
ones I didn't like much like xnews and maybe some others.  It's still
just Usenet.
