I wrote someone a few tips once, but I don't have a DOC or HOW-TO. There is usually Linux-specfic BBS Software install wikis - for Mystic and Synchronet, anyway...
But I'd certainly be willing to help. Dependant on what type of machine/system you'd like to build, Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Desktop might be a good choice. If yer gonna run one computer on Linux and want a GUI/desktop manager, some other choices might be worth looking into.
Theres a ton of Linux help on the FTNs, too... several of us help eachother out a ton... I'm amatuer to intermediate and would be willing to answer any questions I might know answers to. :P
What type of system do you wanna build? Like - if it were just a small Linux cloud server, you'd surely pick some lighter non-GUI distro.... do you know yer set on Ubuntu? Desktop, Server or you dunno yet?
