As part of a recent effort to evaluate the overall adoption of newsbeuter in the open source community, I compiled a list of distributions for which packages of newsbeuter are available. I was surprised to find out that most popular Linux distributions already come with ready-to-use newsbeuter packages, as this makes it even easier for end users to install newsbeuter than doing so manually.
Here’s the list of distributions/systems that I found so far:
- Debian (the Linux distribution that I recommend)
- Ubuntu
- Arch Linux
- Gentoo
- Slackware
- FreeBSD (I know, not a Linux distribution)
- OpenSUSE
- Fedora
- Mandriva
If you know about other Linux distributions with existing newsbeuter packages that is still missing from this list, don’t hesitate and send me an email about this ak@newsbeuter.org. The latest version of this list (including links) is available on the newsbeuter download page.

Regarding Arch Linux: The package has been moved from AUR to the [community] repository for more than a year now, the correct link would be https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/newsbeuter/
Thank you so much. I have just found this app. It feels and looks great.
