If you're just setting up a news server for yourself or a small LAN
(family & friends type of thing), you probably don't need INN at all.
Nntpcache is very simple to set up. It is, however, shareware. A
single-user license is about $10, I think. The next step up is 10 users
for like $90 or something stupid like that... then you go up to 100
users... blah blah blah (shareware sux :-)
But, it's fairly simple to set up.
There's a new package now, too, called NewsCache which is basically the
same idea as nntpcache, except it's GPL (check freshmeat for a source
tarball). I've compiled it but have not yet tried to configure it, so I
don't know how easy it is to use or if it's even usable--it's still in
beta (version 0.99.14). According to the homepage, a 1.0 release is
expected by the end of this year.
