Well Lang, honestly...I do think the problem resides on your servers end,
not with Ubuntu nor Pan. The error you are seeing *is* a news-server
returned error and not an application / os specific error. Now you might
not encounter the error with OE, but there's no reason to say that you
might not encounter the identical problem with a different newsreader
under windows.

Stephan,
I won't argue that the error's being generated by the news server. That
said, if I never see that error in OE, and I haven't thus far, after years
of using OE to read various ng's, then I must assume that the server's
throwing the error because it doesn't like some yet undetermined issue with
the post coming from Pan/FF. So... when I compare the issues I've had with
OE in Windows (always a different kind of -OE-, if you get my drift...)
compared to the problems I've had with Pan/FF and the amount of time
expended trying to get that to work, nix comes up a little shy of "easy to
use." For me.
Which comes back around to my original complaint about nix: too much time.
And, as previously stated somewhere upstream in the thread, I realize,
beyond doubt, that belonging to the "Gee, Vista works for me" group slants
my point of view differently than those who have experienced problems
getting even basic things in Vista to work.
My comments are based solely on my personal experience with any of the
above. Folks can take, or leave, my comments as they will. I've never said
nix sux, as I think you'd acknowledge... and I've never said Vista is
problem free. I'd be a dope to make either claim. (And, no... I'm not
intimating that others who make those claims are dopes... although with the
flame wars in here, I'm sure either side would claim victory and point to
the opposing side [what a concept] as dopes. Well, gee, nevermind, that
happens already. Too often, imho.)
See ya over in alt.os.linux.ubuntu as we try to figure out my ng reader
issues.
Regards,
Lang
