Rnews is a tool Adrian wrote to do this because he couldn't find one readily available at the time he wanted it. It is written in PHP, and is Similar in functionality to a few other open source projects, but has a significantly different interface. So he decided to release it to the general public for others to use as well. It has since evolved into the best Aggregator out there (not that we're biased).

Rnews is free, open-source software, so you can download it now and get started.
