Posting with Linux - NewsMangler?

[UsenetGuy]

Hi

I have a 100Mbit server I can post from but it's running Linux. I understand newsmangler is the best client for posting in linux. Anyway I was wondering if anyone can link or make a guide I can use to get started up with NewsMangler and how to configure it? I got no idea about it lol.

Also need to learn how to generate Par2 files on linux if anyone could help with that?

Cheers,
TG

If you post with newsmangler don't use the 'yenc-vanilla' yEnc encoding module because it damages files. I've seen three modules used with it:

yenc-fred
yenc-vanilla
python-vanilla

Yeah I already know about it but I dont have a desktop on my server so I can't see it.

What ones best?

Edit:
# Optional: Psyco for a ~30% article encoding speed boost.
# Optional: modified version of Allesandro Duca's yenc library for a 65-70% article encoding speed boost. (yenc-fred)

I guess yenc-fred is better?

What about Newspost? It is all command line so you should be able to use it.
