I run Slackware full time both as my personal OS and what I run my BBS
under.  It's a personal decision as I get very frustrated that I can't get
under the hood of Windows quite as easy as I can Linux. ;)  I'm not really a
gamer but oddly enough, there's not a whole ton of amateur radio software
under Linux--mainly because the radio manufacturers haven't made a lot of
their proprietary stuff open source--but what there is available is pretty
high quality stuff.

There's a few differences IIRC but nothing that can cause any real problems. 
Basically you'll need to modify IBMLAN.INI and PROTOCOL.INI then modify the
MPTS settings.  You don't have to reboot but from experience, I'd recommend
doing so.

You can use x:\tcpip\bin\tcpexit.cmd (IIRC) to bring an entire BBS system
online via that CMD file also (I'm sure you know that already though).
