Comes up all the time and each time everyone think INN is the answer
and its not the answer for everyone. INN is a pig on memory and 
and CPU. Cnews wins out hands down if your a single node site,
CNEWS wins hands down if your primary connection is via uucp. INN
is great if your on the internet and running multi nntp links but the
over head is way to much to burden yourself with if your a single node/uucp
based system.
