HowTo: Planet - RDF/RSS/Atom Feed Aggregator

Another feed aggregator available from Linux world is Planet.

Planet is a flexible feed aggregator. Planet is an awesome 'river of news' feed reader available also in many linux distros. Originally developed from Debian OS. Planet downloads feeds and aggregates their content together into a single combined feed with the latest news first. Planet runs on a web server. This feed aggregator creates pages with entries from the original feeds in chronological order, most recent entries first.
