[Techtalk] news server question

[Helen]

    I have been reading all the config files, reference setting up a news
server, using INN.  I am not doing so well.
    I do not want to mirror other newsgroups, just set up my own. Is there
an easier way to do this? What is the best program to use for news servers.
Is there a better one that INN?
    Is there a link to a good howto.  I am using SUSE 8.0 and it just
doesn't seem to be going well.

Suggestions, Advice?
