I am sure half the world knows this but I having been using pine at work on the servers. I recently moved from Windows to Fedora 8 as my work-station OS and wanted pine. This is when I came to know that I am supposed to use alpine instead of pine now :)

These are instructions to install alpine:

alpine: if you read your e-mail with pine (the latest GNU-friendly version is now called alpine) on your machine, there is good news in Fedora 8. alpine, because of its new GNU licensing, is now available through the normal fedora repository. so, simply:

$ yum -y install alpine

This is the source of the info.
