+>&knode; is an easy-to-use, convenient newsreader; it is intended to allow even newbies to use a newsreader under &kde;, but it also offers advanced features appealing to experienced users. &knode; is a online-reader but could work together with a newsserver like <application
+>leafnode</application
+> as an offline-reader.</para>

+>A journey through Usenet</link
+> chapter is recommended; it is not so much about &knode; as how to move about in the Usenet with its help. In general, it is not sufficient to just master a news reader for writing news articles: imagine a car driver who masters his car perfectly but does not know about the traffic rules or signs; do you want to encounter such a driver when out in traffic? So please take your time to learn at least a little about the <quote
+>traffic rules</quote
+> of the Usenet; the other participants will thank you.</para>
