Sure... I have compiled NNTPCACHE on a Debian box. Just follow the steps (there is a readme on how to install it.). The problem really I have encountered on it is configuring the configuration files on it. > It is supposed to run under Linux without any problems, so I don't see that > it should be a major issue compiling it under Debian.

It's a proxy like squid, but instead of proxying html, jpgs, etc., It proxies nntp newsgroups. It saves you enormous bandwitdth just using this one. This baby can even filter spams and connect to multiple nntpservers. A little hitch on this one is.... For non profit organizations and educational institutions, it's free. For commercial use, you have to pay. Therefore, It's not exactly free. Anybody care to compile it as a .deb file? regards, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Andre M.
