   Actually, back when I first installed Slackware MBSE was the first BBS that I   
   installed on Linux. Since then I have installed BBBS, SBBS, and Mystic.   
      
   I think the reason that I didn't stick with MBSE longer than I did wasn't a    
   fault of MBSE. It was at the time a lack of understanding of Linux's   
   functionality. Everything was in odd and/or unknown places in Linux. As opposed   
    to Windows of the day. Hech, now I prefer Linux over Windows. :-)

   While I probably will maintain a BBBS presence...   
      
   I try to always make sure that I have a few spare Linux PC's including a few   
   Pi3's sitting around to try/test things on. I must confess my lack of looking   
   at MBSE recently but will acquire the current MBSE package and investigate. :-)
