Glad to hear you're getting somewhere.  I tried Red hat once, but had much
more success with Slack, myself, so haven't configured that kind of box
yet.  And no, I don't have *any* intention of leaving Slack any time soon. 
:-)  

No doubt you'll get a million suggestions for news, but I personally like
slrn the best.  It was by far the quickest I've found to set up, but then, I
haven't looked too hard.  It does everything I need.

Good luck, and keep us posted.
