   I used to run mbse under Centos 6.x. I never had a problem with the system,    
   and it moved from being on a real machine to a   
   VPS without any issues.   
      
   The current system runs on Debian 8, and I've not ran into issues either,    
   although I only use mbse now as a FTN hub.
