   I have never tried bbbs as it is paid for software and as I am retired do not   
   have funds to spend on such when there are more than enough FOC products.   
      
   Also all s/w in my system are available in source so I can pass the code   
   through vetting s/w to check that it is safe (e.g., no back doors or passing   
   information to other without my consent etc).   
      
   I do not often do this as most of my running apps I can control exactly what   
   resources each has and that include external one's how ever the nature of BBS   
   system is that they by nature communicate via the internet and I must be sure   
   that they do exactly what I expect of them so the need force source is kind of   
   important but one can (if needed) is run them inside a hard VM. [Limited   
   resource access or control]   
      
   The one issue is for bbbs or for that matter any s/w is, can you select    
   exactly   
   where to install it ?   
      
   If so then it should work - subject to testing of course.
