Is there a doc that shows how to port a Windows SBBS configuration and data to Linux?
There's this, however it doesn't touch on Windows -> Linux migration:
http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:misc#migration
The process is basically to install Synchronet on your Linux system, then copy the following directories over from your old SBBS install: ctrl, data, mods, text, probably your web directory as well.
I ran into a few hiccups related to filenames and the introduction of case-sensitivity into the equation. I think that was mostly on old crap in my text directory, created by old editors that REALLY LIKED UPPERCASE FILENAMES.
You might hit a couple of snags, but nothing difficult to surmount.
