Take a look at leafnode
<http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/leafnode/beta/>

this is very easy to operate.  To setup edit the config file with the
name of your upstream server (there must be at least one, I use
news-text.blueyonder.co.uk) then schedule a "fetchnews" once an hour and
that is about it, even Aq should like the simplicity! (sorry I forgot it
doesn't read your mind and auto configure itself :-)
