NA> I never did get to play around with eCS or the new Arc-os (I think thats   
   NA> what   
   NA> its called?). It might be nice to fire it up in a virtual machine just to   
   NA> mess around with it.   
      
   My classic WWIV nodes have run on eCS 2.2 for quite some time now.  I have yet   
   to experiment with ArcaOS, but wouldn't mind experiementing with it.     
      
   Even though networking support has gotten much better in eCS (using Samba), it   
   still has issues.  If you have a mapped drive from eCS to a Windows machine -   
   and reboot the Windows machine, eCS will crash.     
      
   Would love to test ArcaOS one of these days to see if I can get better   
   stability with networking using it.

   NA> Windows "for life". I may use a new modern OS for day to day stuff, but   
   NA> the BBS and especially the Fido stuff will always be on 32-bit Windows.   
      
   Nothing wrong with that.  Hell, I'm still running a 16-bit DOS BBS which is   
   why the nodes stay on eCS.  Doesn't make any difference to me since it is a VM   
   and can still run on the most beefy hardware out on the market.
