When running a mailer        DB> and/or bbs system, do you prefer pure text based systems or do like        DB> GUI versions?              Text based is what is needed. My BBS runs on a server where there is no xorg or        the like installed so in that situation text based is essential.              A GUI is not a bad thing also. If there was a GUI I would run that too, where I        can.               DB> Also do prefer to run just a DOS based system or native Linux system?              Linux native. There are things like dosemu that can be used to run DOS based       software but it's full of stuff that works kinda/sorta/mostly.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 57/0 90/1 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/275 426 452 616 981 1014 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 250/3 267/800 280/464 5003 292/854 305/2 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/0 1 100       SEEN-BY: 770/330 340 772/0 1 210 500 2452/250       PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
