1. Introduction
1.1. About KNode
KNode is a newsreader for KDE. It is a pure online-reader and is supposed to be used with a newsserver either on
the local machine or in the LAN. KNode does not store any articles locally but fetches them from the server every time you select
one for reading.
I want you to be aware of the fact, that this is alpha quality sofware. KNode is quite stable but might crash from time to time, so
don't blame me, if it eats up your harddisk. You have been warned ;-)
KNode has all basic features of a newsreader and some advanced functionality is implemented, too. For details see the next section.
