   Yeah, I think Synchronet runs pretty well in Linux.  I moved mine from Windows   
   to Linux 3 years ago after running it in Windows since 2007.  Also, since   
   moving my BBS to Linux, I've set it up to run as a service so that it runs in   
   the background like any other service, which I think is pretty cool.

   No DOS door games on your BBS?
