By far the best is Akregator. Just do a

sudo apt-get install akregator

The best newsreader for any platform is NetNewsWire for the
Mac. Then there's a close tie between SharpReader for
Windows and Akregator for KDE. I like Akregator quite a lot.
I've played with a lot of them, and it's the only one for
Linux that's acceptable.

An alternative is to use a web-based aggregator like
Bloglines. Then anywhere you go in the world, Linux or
otherwise, you'll have the same RSS feeds available.

Good luck. Ask any questions you'd like.
