Are you looking for an a) newsreader for newsgroups or an b) rss-feed 
reader?

If a) try Thunderbird, is really easy to set-up, does also Mail and RSS 
but doesn't support things like scoring and killfiles very well (you 
could fake someth. using filters).

If b) try Lifearea which is in the Ubuntu repository. Or take a look at 
flock, a Firefox based browser which has a quite good rss-reader inside. 
I like to have the RSS-Reader in my browser so i don't have to start 
another programm if the newsfeed doesn't contain the full text.

Bye!
