Ok, I might be a bit biased ... but if you install INN for the first time,
the main problem is that one little step is left out of documentation (the
creation of history,{dir,pag}). But otherwise it is quite clear iff one is
able to read Install.ms and manpages.
IMHO one shouldn't enable features like mmap() or else if one doesn't know
what they do just becuase one heard of a friend who heard of another friend
that it might be c001 to use it.

I also knew c news. But then I had to jump into inn (for work) and I think
it is not that hard. I have a server that has constantly >15 incoming

c news can't handle this reasonably.
