Hello There,   
      
   In recent weeks I have been contemplating makings some changes. Now, I am not   
   one to make drastic changes without due consideration. I have been a rather   
   consistent user of Ubuntu Linux for some years now. And BBBS has been running   
   on Ubuntu the whole time except for a short time   
   on Windows Server when I first installed BBBS. As I have mentioned I  have been   
    cutting back on FTN participation's recently even though I  still 8 PC's   
   available running either running a 64b flavor of Linux or  a 64b version of   
   Windows. This isn't including several laptops and tablets.   
      
   I usually am a type of the "If it ain't broke, don't screw it up!". So, I  have   
    resisted upgrading Ubuntu Linux on the BBBS machine which currently runs   
   Ubuntu 16.10. I have recently to upgrade the OS on the BBBS to possibly a   
   NON-Ubuntu flavor of Linux. I have Debian, CentOS, and Linux Mint recently    
   as well as some rather specialized versions of Linux. But haven't decided on  a   
    flavor yet. I am doing a backup of the 450,000 files in the BBBS home   
   directory as I type. :-)   
      
   Anyone with any thoughts? I am mainly interested in stability as I have plenty   
   of PC's to use to experiment on.
