Is this possible??

[Paminu]

I would like to make gnus look like this:

1) Most recent post a top

2) If a post has a reply it should have some kind of indications of this but
should only be expanded when pressed on

3) Group groups. Instead of a long list of all my groups I would like to be
able to make some kind of grouping: All groups on Linux in the "Linux"
group. All groups on Java programming in another group etc.

4) Add a another server. I would like to add another server. Its a bit
special since I can only get access to this server if I SSH into local
system (its a local server). I know how to make the SSH connection but I
don't know how to make gnus aware of this when reading from the group.

Possible; see the manual: "3.10 Sorting the Summary Buffer"
 <http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_79.html#SEC79>

Don't know; did you check the manual? Perhaps the section "3.9
Threading" <http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_72.html#SEC72> ?

Possible. This is called "Topics"; see the manual: "2.16 Group Topics"
 <http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_35.html#SEC35>

Probably possible; see the manual. Perhaps: "6.2 Getting News"
 <http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_152.html#SEC152>

(Or you can always use ssh-tunneling.)

Have a look at "Group Topics" toward the end of section 2 of the Gnus
Manual.

I have ssh set up with ssh-agent so I don't need to type a password each
time I connect, then I use a select method like,

	(nntp "whatever"
	      (nntp-address "nntp server address")
	      (nntp-via-user-name "ssh username")
	      (nntp-via-address "ssh server address")
	      (nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
	      (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
	      (nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-C" "-t" "-e" "none"))
	      (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet))

My version of the Gnus Manual has a section "6.2.1.2 Indirect
Functions" which shoudl help you.
