Wow! I can't believe there are already 5 bbses now for Linux. That's a shock. I thought bbses were mainly for windows users. Looks like I was wrong.

I run linux on a sega dreamcast and actually run a bbs off it.. it was a read only type BBS but I kept doors and files on my computer and run telgates to get to those doors and file areas.. was kinda cool.

I heard Linux was invented in the 80's but I didn't get into it until sometime this year so I'm fairly new to it but I learned a lot from it though.

Oh yea.. there are some out there (can'nt remember names) that would really trip you out as a BBS, some does'nt have the layout of the dos based BBS and after configuration actually makes for great bbs experience. :)

Do you have a hard time understanding what you read? The subject is "BBS" and you are talking about you thinking that BBSes were mainly for windows users.
