No it doesn't. Well, it gets so far then dies. And, well, I didn't go 
much further. I've not tried it for a while, but I see no reason why 
things would have changed. I don't really see this as a solution, 
though.

What I'd like to see is a killer usenet reader for Linux. Currently, I'd 
be happy with one that has basic + 1 features.

It's a very weird situation. I'm old enough to remember being awestruck 
by tin. It seems things haven't moved on in a decade - excepting the GUI 
bit. I spend a lot of time with usenet stuff, so I guess this it what 
folk call a core app', for me.
