Yes indeed.
Andreas the good news is that Gnus *usually* comes bundled with Emacs, no
need to install separately.
If you must use the beta No Gnus series for some reason, you can download
the source and run it from your /home/elisp directory, but if you are
just beginning with Gnus it might be better to stick with the version you
received with Emacs itself.
