I wasn't really checking many RSS feeds before RSSOwl - this utility is easy enough that it got me hooked on a quick way to get info on several sites, without opening a browser.
Very slow on executing commands like "Mark as read". Linux does not have a good RSS Reader application. Best to use a browser for that.
i use it a lot.. i find it on linux.. i used 1ts time in min7 release.. im glad they add this greate app here!
