G'day Wayne..

 WC> Has the one who shall remain nameless given you any heat?

Heat, possibly - annoyance definitely, backed up with implied
threats.

 WC> Caused problems for you?

It's been dealt with.

 WC> Should you ask I'll withdraw from your BBS rather than post the odd
 WC> post to that other echo.

That other echo is unlinked here, along with his other echoes that
were in the latest echolist.

 WC> It's in pretty severe decline in any regard with just a few
 WC> opinions of much interest to me anyway.


 WC> Your BBS just doesn't interface for QWK out of the box well with
 WC> Linux. 

If I was really keen, I would investigate setting up a http bbs, but
probably not worth the trouble, with phpbbs sites replacing distributed
Fido echoes.

 WC> I'd bet a Knoppix release of this same O.S. would work just fine as
 WC> they preconfigure much to the generally accepted standards. 

 WC> Slackware Linux leaves a LOT to be custom configured.

 WC> It has the advantage of being able to be optimised to your ultimate
 WC> goals and desires in how it operates but it can introduce stumbling
 WC> blocks.

I was very impressed with PCLinuxOS - behaved well on my now dead machine.

 WC> BTW my ancestry came through Austrailia at one point starting out
 WC> in Scotland and arriving in Autrailia in somewhat the accoustomed
 WC> way back in the day.

Came as guests on one of his majesty's ships? :)

Steve
