Rss Atom

I see the RSS an ATOM buttons on the LQ website and wonder how to use this in linux. What's the difference between rss and atom and what software is best to use it?

Regards

I don't know what the difference is, but RSS is rich site summary/rich site source.

Basically they are a kind of "news feed".
Things which read em are known as "aggregators".


RSSowl is excellent, as is fraggle (console reader). But both require weird libraries.

Otherwise thunderbird does em.
