Can I use Newsgroups with Linux?

thinking of getting one of those Asus EEE's but it comes with Linux installed

Never used Linux, but fancy giving it a go - I assume Newsleecher won't work with it. Where do I go from here?
 
I also just installed Linux, and am wondering what is the most preferred reader that Linux users use. Any suggestions? I'm not big on Newsleecher. The reader I use on windows is Alt.Binz(would this run under Wine?). So if there is something like that for linux, I would really like to know. And I use NZB sites, so the reader doesn't have to load headers.

I'm guessing maybe Pan and SABnzbd is the most liked or most used Linux users?

Thanks.

It will run under Wine. I used the 0.25.0 version in Wine.
 
Nice. Thank you guys for the info. I will first try out Pan. I don't really want to install Wine, because I keep reading that for every app on Windows, there's a Linux equivalent.

But if I can't get used to Pan, or don't like it, then I"ll have to go with Wine to use Alt.Binz.
