Well, back in the day, I used Straw (http://www.nongnu.org/straw/), but 
looking at it, it seems to have died off after maintainer change.  The 
other one I used was Liferea (http://liferea.sourceforge.net/), which 
seems to be more active.

However, the fact that I use Windows, mainly, at home and Linux at work 
(not to mention Windows at libraries, et al), has led me to currently 
use uber-webreader, Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com).  I am a big 
supporter of Bloglines as I no longer have to shuttle OPML files back 
and forth and keep readers sync'd.  Now, I just use Firefox (+Bloglines 
Toolkit, the indicator extension) to keep up.

Plus, I imagine I'm hitting sites a lot less using Bloglines.  I used to 
run Straw/Liferea at 10-30 minute intervals.  Now, I get Bloglines every 
hour.  This is important because I currently have about 250 feeds on 
Bloglines!
