[GRLUG] Torrent RSS question

[Benjamin Flanders]

I think that we are talking about two different things.  I was talking
about the TVrss (http://tvrss.net/) website that populated the rss
feeds.  It isn't a program that can be run.  I think you are talking
about the TV rss GTK+ program for linux.

Even using the GTK+ program I would need to install X on the server,
wouldn't I?
