INN unfortunately does not come with "a nice GUI" so I bet it won't be 
suiting your needs.

Are you looking for a news server running on Linux, Windows, or another OS?
In case you can use Windows, I recommend you the nice CodoSoft NNTPd 
news server:  http://www.codosoft.com/en/
I hope it is the kind of server you are looking for.
