i'm not a die hard linux user/fan but i am all linux now since my OS/2 system
died...

i currently run all native linux software except for using dosemu for some
16bit dos doors... there is no gui on the bbs system at all so everything is
text mode... the bbs system's OS install is a bare ubuntu server so there's not
even apache, php, or a sql database in the way... i'm running synchronet bbs
with its javascript binkit mailer and tickit file tosser... messages are
handled by sbbs' native sbbsecho tosser... i do sometimes run binkd instead of
binkit as my mailer... pretty much everything running here, bbs-wise, is
compiled here...
