subject: Launching new BBS and conducting research

Hello community

I'm researching the necessary steps needed to launch a board. I'm a linux
guy and intend to rig the hardware on a recovered corporate workstation
with a core I5 and 16gb of RAM. I haven't settled
on a distro but it'll likely by Ubuntu (what I'm accustomed to) but it's
not set in stone. I may go with Debian who knows.

Anyway, naturally I have a ton to learn but this isn't unfounded. I was
co-sysop for a number of boards during the nineties and Iknow much has
changed over that last twenty years.

Can someone point me to a good resource that compares bbs systems
compmatible with linux or should I just ask away in here?

Meanwhile, I have an ex-sysop friend who i'm hoping will hop onboard withi
me an cosysop with me while helping create ansi art. There aren't many
messages in this channel so any advice yall can
dispense would be most appreciated.

You can also email me personally on my home bbs email:
calcmancan{at}digitaldistortionbbs.com

Ummm, just so yall know I'm ust at the start of planning so I have little
else figured out. I do know I'll want door games so I'll have to figure out
how to get dosbox runnning and working with a
linux board. Oh I know this is going to be such fun.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel Traechin
