Each of the distribution types (4.0 betas, 3.x, gold, etc) has a unix
directory at ftp.redhat.com.  In there you will find a distribution that
refers to 'unsupported' and 'linux' in its name.  Any of those will
work.  Once you download it, check out

Hard to tell, never been able to get it to work myself.  I've always
blamed it on sound support (wether that's right or not is another story,
but it satisfies me, for now).

There was a thread here in the last couple of days (and it keeps
reappearing periodically) about path settings.  Basically, make sure you
have eXecute permission on the file.  Then, to execute a script called
runthis, type './runthis' without the quotes, of course.

slrn comes with RH 4.0, I'm sure it must be in most of their
distributions.  It's pretty nice, not for X, but I like it.  Just make
sure the environment variable NNTPSERVER is set to your server.
