   I made that change back in the last 1990s & moved from Windows 3.11 to Linux &   
   MBSE.  Played a little with Mystic/Slackware but ended up staying with   
   MBSE/FreeBSD becuase it was so stable & just worked.  Becuase my previous bbs   
   was PowerBBS, not many doors made the transistion.  FFS, BRE, TWars, &   
   ArrowBridge was about all.  That system is currently mothballed at home.     
      
   Anytime I move overseas for employment, I fire up husky & binkd on a hosted   
   server in Colorado so I dont have to bother the wife with reboots or server   
   stuff.   
      
   I am currently running ESXi 6.5 on an Intel NUC locally with Slackware &   
   Mystic 1.12 A39 in a VM. I may stick with it & move it to the hosted server or   
   may change my mind, again.  I downloaded & started messing with ArcaOS last   
   weekend & immediately tossed ProBoard, FD, & FE on it...
