If you need one, Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris and leafnode are probably what you

Obviously all of the above will need an upstream server anyway.

Wow, 5 out of 5 for leafnode, and everyone answered the question posed.
Is that a ukrm first?

Make that 6 out of 6 (I use leafnode on the server that I'm replying
from) running on linux.

Incredibly easy to set up as long as you are not afraid of command-line
stuff.

And as others have said - you *must* have an upstream server to grab
new news items from (and to post your responses) to. Leafnode allows
you to set up multiple server/port combos for the upstream ones to
allow you a bit of resilience.
