    Best RSS reader for KDE/Kubuntu?

    I have set up a dual boot on my laptop and want to move as much as possible over to Kubuntu.

    On WindowsXP I use FeedDemon synced with NewsGator as my RSS reader and it is the absolutely best combination I know of. I can read feeds on the desktop, inline and on my WindowsMobile phone. And it is all synced.

    What are my best options on Kubuntu? I really do not want to just use online reading. Lines here are slow and I want a desktop application that matches what I am used to now.

    RSSOwl is a wonderful application, but it still do not sync to NewsGator. I can only hope they will do that in the future.

    Also, I prefer to stay away from Wine as much as possible. I guess I have to use it to get Photoshop running (Gimp is not even close to cover my workflow in Photoshop), but I prefer native applications if there are any.

      I use a Firefox plugin called WizzRSS and really like it for its ability to access RSS that contains enclosures. In other words it reads blogs and does podcasts, even if the enclosure is something other than an mp3. My use seems to differ from many though, and I know that many people like akregator.

        I tried Akregator and it is not bad, but I could not get it to connect to my Google Reader account...

          Possibly this bug?
          https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...im/+bug/253396

          If it is, it should be fixed in KDE 4.2.2 (release scheduled on April 1st)
