   What do you mean about setting it up "slightly"?   
   I migrated my Synchronet BBS from Windows to Linux a few years ago (also with   
   Linux Mint), and I actually found it fairly smooth.  I didn't do any pre-setup   
   with SCFG; I simply copied my Synchronet directory tree over to my Linux   
   setup.  I made sure I set the needed environment variables (I set SBBSROOT,   
   SBBSCTRL, and SBBSEXEC), and Synchronet was able to find its configuration &   
   everything. In SCFG, I just had to change the command lines for the doors &   
   such (for instance, not running .bat files & such), changed paths to ensure   
   they were correct, etc.
