Wash, As you can see from this thread, there are a lot of options. It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
A full news feed requires a massive pipe, and at least one very high end server.
If you only want to pull a small set of non binary groups, you can get by with a T1, and high quality server.
I know of at least one ISP that's getting every thing he wants on a dedicated DSL link, and is using a low end server.
If you want to provide a wide range of groups to a small number of users, you may want to consider outsourcing to someone like giganews or newsfeeds.com
Again, it all depends on your needs.

Hello Admins (I think we all are at some point),
I am considering running a news server, and I see there are several options out there.
Can someone recommend what they are running and why they chose it. I am particularly looking for one that doesn't suck alot ;-) I hear they all suck, no?
