To be honest, you should check out Linux Mint. If you are using it on a desktop, it has the look and feel of Windows, with a Linux core. It is based on Debian/Ubuntu and is extremely good.
I use Mint for development, and I use Slack15 for servers. Slackware is much more difficult to learn but well worth it.
Everyone is hung up on Windows to play doors and while that is true, its only a small part of the BBS experience. You can always use Linux, and then use Door game servers for your door games. Truth is with doors, you can do all this work to host them, and then have 1 player. Its just not worth it. Run whatever OS you want, whatever BBS software you want, and use a BBS Door Game server and still offer a better experience. I get the fun is setting it up, but it gets old..
