We briefly review BeppoSAX observations of X-ray bright radio-galaxies. Their
X-ray spectra are quite varied, and perhaps surprisingly, any similarity
between radio-loud AGN and Seyfert galaxies is the exception rather than the
rule. When detected, reprocessing features (iron line and reflection) are
generally weak, suggesting two possible scenarios: either: (1) non-thermal
(jet?) radiation dilutes the X-ray emission from the disk in radio-loud
objects, or (2) the solid angle subtended by the X-ray reprocessing material is
smaller in radio-loud than in radio-quiet AGN due to different characteristics
of the accretion disk itself.Comment: 6 pages, to appear in `Life Cycles of Radio Galaxies', ed. J. Biretta
